Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: Too far too fast can send oil back to $67.00 a barrel

  • Crude oil bulls showed on Friday that the main bull trend is still alive despite the deep pullback since early July.
  • Oil has made three pushes up (after the red triangle) and the market might be ripe for a pullback down as WTI is finding some resistance at the 69.00 figure and the 50 and 100-period simple moving averages on the daily chart.  
  • If oil breaks below 68.30, targets to the downside are located at 67.16 and 66.53 swing points. A bull failure on a retest of 69.00 figure can  be a short opportunity as well for near-term revesral down.
