  • Crude oil main bull trend is on hold as the market printed a double top.
  • Bulls lost quite a lot of momentum as the RSI, MACD and Stochastics indicators are turning bearish. Bears objective is to target the consolidation area near $68.00 a barrel.  
  • A bull breakout above 69.30 would invalidate the bearish bias.
