Chris comments: We all know Crude oil has a large impact on our lives. Currently Crude oil is waging war with the 50% Fibonacci resistance level at $90.

In April Crude came within $2 of the 50% level and declined, as stocks were peaking at the same time.

Should crude succeed at breaking above the 50% level, the 61% level comes into play around $105!

In 2007 Crude almost went vertical in price and stocks went south, so watch crude closely right now!
