Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: Black Gold supported at $73.00 a barrel can see another leg up soon

  • Crude oil is trading in a bull trend as the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages (SMA) are moving upward.  
  • Crude oil found support at 73.00 as bulls are trying to find a base after the recent leg down. While the market can revisit 73.00-73.50 range, oil is set to trade higher as it also found support above  the 100 and 200  SMA. Targets can be located near 75.24 (July high) and 76.00 figure  
  • A bear breakout below 73.00 would invalidate the bullish bias.
