Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: Climactic buying can lead to pullback down towards $74.00 a barrel

  • Crude oil  bull trend is trading at levels not seen since late 2014.
  • Crude oil is trading well above its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages (SMA) suggesting strong bullish momentum.  
  • However, the last bull leg was rather climactic and the market might be ready for a pullback towards 74.00 and 73.00. On the flip side, a bullish continuation would target 77.83 level (November 21, 2014 high) and 80.00 round figure.
