|- Crude oil melted about $2.5 this Wednesday as it broke below the $67.00 psychological level and the swing low at $66.92 a barrel. This is the worst daily decline since July 16.
- Bears objective is to breakout below 66.30, July 18 low in order to open the gates towards June 18 low at 62.74.
- Crude oil bulls objective is to create a double bottom with July 18 low at 66.30. While in the short-term bulls have a fair chance to support the market, it remains to be seen how long they can sustain it. As of now, the overall picture suggests that a break below 66.30 is virtually bound to happen at some point.
