Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: Oil breaking below key levels put bull trend at risk


  • Crude oil broke below 66.30 July 18 swing low and a multi-month bullish trendline as bears are challenging the main bull trend. 
  • Since 66.30 is a key level, the 65.71-66.30  become a selling area to potentially initiate new short positions. Targets to the downside are located near 64.60 and 64.00 figure. 
  • A sustained breakout above 66.30 would invalidate the bearish trade.
