Crude Oil WTI Technical Analysis: Oil approaching critical resistance near $71.50 a barrel

• Crude oil bulls are eager to push WTI above the September high in order to extend the main bull trend. 
• Crude oil is trading above its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages while the RSI, MACD and Stochastics are displaying bullish momentum. However, bulls will need to break above 71.41-63 zone, (September 4 high and July 13 high) in order to extend the bull leg. 
• Failure to break above 71.41-63 zone can lead to a rotation back down to 69.00
