Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: Calm before the storm – 70.00 bull target

  • Crude oil buyers are eager to resume the main bull trend as they have been preventing the market from falling below 67.16 this Thursday allowing only a small pullback.
  • Oil is trading above its rising 200-period simple moving average and the (yellow) bull trendline. Bulls want a breakout above 68.30 resistance in order to open the gates to the next leg higher which targets $70.00 a barrel.  
  • A bear breakout below 66.30 would invalidate the bullish bias.
