Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: Black Gold sell-climax almost reached $70.00 a barrel

• Crude oil is trading in a bull trend but the head-and-shoulders pattern has given bulls a hard time to extend the trend.  
• Crude oil retreated almost to the 70.00 figure where it is expected to find some support if reached. The market broke below the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) but the 50, 100 and 200 SMA are still bullishly configured therefore a potential return to the mean and reversal up trade can be expected in the coming sessions.
• However, the market remains predominantly bearish for the time being with the RSI, MACD and Stochastic also in negative territories further confirming the bearish momentum.
