I always like to look at different time frames for charts to add some perspective. Here's a CL 02-11 Weekly 20 EMA chart. You can see overall resistance and support.

BTW the triple top on CL 02-11 was 92.59 on 1/3/11, 92.39 yesterday, and 92.37 today. Pretty strong resistance so far. On 4/6/10 it got up to 96.84.

Did a sim trade short for $300 while I was doing something else. Oh, well. :) Maybe if I bring the print out of this to the store they'll let me buy some groceries. Or I may be restricted to using this money to buy the pictures in the flier of the groceries. :) I'm opening a new account and have...

Seems to be trying to break through triple top level, which seems to be formidable resistance so far. Pulled back so far. I'm not trading today but just stopped in to have a look. Hope everyone's doing great. :)

Nice scalp. :)
