Light.CMD/USD 4H Chart: Tests resistance cluster
The Light crude oil prices edged lower by 5.45% during the last week. However, the decline was stopped by a support level formed by the combination of the weekly and the monthly pivot points at 51.41.
The LIGHT.CMMD/USD pair tested a resistance cluster at 53.58 during the morning hours of Wednesday's trading session.
If the commodity passes the resistance cluster formed by the 50– and 100-hour SMAs and the weekly PP at 53.58, the next target for bullish traders will be near a swing high of 55.59.
