- Crude oil finally broke below $73.00 a barrel after two days of consolidation.
- Crude oil is currently en route to test last week’s low at 72.25. A breakout below the level can lead to an exacerbation of the bear move. However, bears will need to overcome the 72.00 figure and the lower trendline which can both act as support in the near-term.
- Pullbacks can be expected and immediate resistances are seen near 72.53 July 5 low and the 73.00 figure.
