- Crude oil is trading in a bull trend but the head-and-shoulders pattern is giving bulls a hard time to continue to advance for the time being.
- Crude oil retreated to the 73.00 figure and 100-period simple moving average where it is having a small bounce as the down move seems exhausted for Wednesday. However, oil is set to remain under pressure below 75.19 October 5 high (the right shoulder).
- Supports to the downside can be located near 72.00 figure, 71.45 (September 26 low) and 70.00 figure.
