Crude Oil overbought

it seems revolution has a cost and this time its $ 120 / barrel. But will we sustain this massive rally in oil prices. technically, if WTI remains above $ 93 , the rally is here to stay but we r still not sure of when and how much. Another view is from Bespoke investment who comes comes out with a very interesting piece of data which suggests that oil seems overbought and it might spike further right now.

"the price of oil closed more than three standard deviations above its 50-day moving average on Wednesday. This is a feat that hasn't been accomplished in more than ten years, and going back to 1983, it has only occurred in eight other periods. In the table below, we highlight the first day in each period where this occurred as well as the commodity's performance over the next week and month. In more than half of the prior periods, crude continued to rise, averaging gains of 1.07% over the next week and 4.03% over the next month"
