Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: 68.00 Mission Accomplished - Sell-climax can propel WTI back up to $69.30 a barrel

  • Crude oil main bull trend took a breather this week as the market pulled back past $68.00 a barrel down to 67.00.
  • Crude oil fell very fast to 67.00 after which bargain-hunter bulls supported the market and lifted it almost back to 68.00 in a few hours creating a sell-climax and a bullish reversal in the process.
  • As it stands bulls are working hard in order to retake control of the market and a break above back 68.00 would be seen as another bullish clue which can target 69.30 August 24 high.
