  • Crude oil main bull trend is currently on hold as the bears took over the market after breaking below the 70.00 figure.  
  • Crude oil is correcting lower as the rising wedge broke to the downside. While some bullish pullback to $70.00 a barrel are possible, the market is set to continue to trade towards the 68.00-68.30 zone, figure and supply/demand level.  
  • A sustained bull breakout above 70.00 would invalidate the bearish bias.
