Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: This might be a bull trap

  • The main bull trend is in a deep pullback since early July.
  • On the 15-minute chart, crude oil had three pushes up after breaking out of the triangle compression pattern (red). Oil is also testing the 100 and 200-period simple moving averages on the daily chart. The market tested the 69.00 figure and is currently breaking below the trendline (yellow), suggesting that the idea of a breakout above 69.00 might be a bull trap. Bears target are located in the 67.00-67.30 zone and 66.30-66.53 area.  
  • A sustained breakout above 69.00-69.30 zone would invalidate the short-term bearish bias.
