Key Insights Summary

CL has completed a sharp V-style recovery from the early-July low near 66.50 and is holding above the weekly and monthly F0%/NTZ structures. Short-term pivot structure is upward, with price above all short- and intermediate-term benchmarks and reclaiming the declining 100-day average near 84.13. The intermediate HiLo pivot trend remains down, reflecting the broader decline from the April and May highs, but the recovery has established higher lows and shifted momentum higher. The 84.60 pivot-high level has been exceeded, making 95.67 the next major overhead pivot resistance, while 78.10 is the nearby pivot-reversal reference. Volume has remained moderate versus earlier peaks and ATR is declining from spring extremes, indicating a less volatile but still active recovery phase.
