Oil had its worst reaction to an OPEC meeting in more than four years, with prices sliding just after the cartel agreed to prolong production curbs as fears about the global economy mount. Futures closed down 4.8% in New York, the steepest decline since May 31 and the biggest drop after an OPEC gathering since November 2014.
Saudi Arabia said it would keep its output below 10 million barrels a day, even lower than required under the so-called OPEC+ deal. Yet Russia, the other de facto leader of the group, questioned a Saudi proposal to use the average of 2010 to 2014 global oil inventories to set future production targets.
The OPEC pact leaves the door open for U.S. shale producers to grab more market share, as the group will have to cut deeper to achieve inventory targets, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
So there was demand at $57.25,
but the reason that demand failed was because the buyers couldn't take out and close above the most recent supply.
The chart suggests price is headed lower...to levels that I will be watching is the $53.80 level and the $51.96 level.

It's revolutionary not just sick! Resteem for your post''''
Thanks @sems42.
Amazing that less than two weeks ago it was going the other way! I did hear multiple traders talk about how the rejection at $60 was strong and a signal of more weakness.
It appears the $60 level might be a strong resistance/support line.
