Crude Oil WTI: Oil finds a floor at 70.00 after nearly 5% decline

• Crude oil is about to close the day printing a loss of about 4.66% which is not seen since mid-June.  
• The crude oil sell-off was climactic and broke below the lower trendline of the bear channel as it reached $69.98  a barrel. It might be  reasonable to expect some profit-taking and a pullback up in the 71.19-72.00 region.  
• However, the bear momentum is strong and a  strong breakout below 70.00 would see a continuation of the bear trend towards 69.44 June 25 high and 69.00 figure.
