Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: WTI meets resistance at the monthly high and can rotate down to $69.30 a barrel

  • Crude oil bulls met resistance at the September high.  
  • Oil is trading above its main simple moving averages (50, 100 and 200 SMA) however the SMAs are rather flat suggesting that the market lacks some bullish momentum.
  • As the market rejected the 71.41-63 zone  (Sept.4 high-July 13 high) and the RSI and Stochastics are falling after being in overbought condition, there is room for a drop to 69.30 (August 24 high) close to the 50 and 100 SMA.
