They say you should buy low and sell high, which is easy to say but hard to do. How low is low and how high is high?
Sometimes technical support and resistance levels can be helpful in finding those highs and lows. Right now oil stocks like Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM), PetroChina Company Ltd.

Crude oil prices themselves got a big boost this week from very exciting inventory numbers. Based on those numbers, demand for oil seems to be picking up.

With oil prices above $70 a barrel again, the fundamentals seem to back up the bullish technicals.
