The WTI Crude oil continues to trade bullish as traders remained wary over the supply outlook and the fallout from global trade tensions between the US-China trade wars. Before we proceed towards today’s technical outlook, let us recall that the WTI price has been under a selling pressure as trade tensions between the United States and China have heated up.

The trade war seems to cause a damage to Chinese manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMI figures as both of these missed the forecast.

Looking at the technical side, crude oil is facing a solid resistance near $67. The 20 periods MA is blocking its way to the upside. While the support remains at $65.65.

The violation of $67 can lead oil prices towards $67.75. Whereas, the market can remain bearish below $67.

WTI Crude Oil – Trade Plan

• EIA Reports a Build Over 5M: I will be looking to sell crude oil for quick 40 -60 pips with a 30 pips stop loss.
• EIA Reports a Draw Over -5M: This may drive more than 80 pips buying in the crude oil prices, and I will be looking to capture it with same 30 pips stop loss. Good luck!
