Crude Oil is trading in a bearish price-channel coming off the highs at 108.93 on the 4-hour anchor chart.  This chart shows us the trend is about to change to bearish as well, so we will be looking for selling-opportunities as the high-percentage-trades this morning.
Profit-targets below us will be at the lows of the price-channel, the trigger-line at 102.02 and the trigger-zone at 100.69.

The hourly anchor chart does a very good job illustrating a sideways-trading-range for us this morning.  We can see the symmetry buy-zone has held three (3) times since we tested it initially last week.  With a trend-line and range-highs at 105.87 we can assume this price-action will keep trading inside this range until something substantial changes the perception of ‘value’. 
With a light news day ahead of us, we will plan on using this trading-range as our biggest trading clue this morning.  We will buy the 104.08 and sell the 105.87, avoiding the middle of the trading-range around 105.25 if possible.

The 987-tick chart is clearly trading in a sideways-trading-range with a slight bearish tone to it this morning.  The ‘cloud’ appears to be very narrow, and we can see the highs and lows of the range quite easily on this chart.

Our day trading plan this morning will be to look for buying opportunities at the lows of the range, and selling-opportunities at the highs of the range.  If/when we breakout of this trading-range we will then look to sell retracements and buy pullbacks.
