Crude oil WTI: Bulls in the starting blocks ready for a breakout past $67.00 a barrel

  • Crude oil bull trend has been retracing since July 3.  
  • Crude oil formed a triangle compression pattern with the 100-period simple moving average crossing above the 200-period simple moving average suggesting a bullish bias. Bulls are starting to break the triangle to the upside. Target 1 is located in the 66.30-66.53 zone  and target 2 in the 67.16-67.72 area.
  • A sustained bear breakout below 64.60 would negate the bullish bias.
