Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: Bullish advance can be capped at 73.00 a barrel

• Oil bulls want to resume the main bull trend.  
• Crude oil is trading above its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving average but the 100 and 200 SMA are rather flat suggesting lack of strong bullish momentum in the market. The RSI indicator is pointing down after a leaving the overbought region while the Stochastics is turning down in the overbought zone.  
• A failure to break above 73.00 a barrel should see a rotation down towards 70.00.
