Today, that support finally cracked. The price fell below the rising 200-hour moving average at $100.08 and the psychologically important $100 level, reaching a session low of $99.79.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Those breaks gave sellers two reasons to push lower. However, the follow-through was limited. The decline stalled ahead of Tuesday\u2019s low at $99.45, and the price rebounded back above both $100 and the 200-hour moving average.<\/p>\n<p>Crude is now trading near $101.05, leaving it between the 200-hour moving average at $100.08 and the 100-hour moving average at $101.48. Those two levels frame the next battle between buyers and sellers.<\/p>\n<p>The failed break below support disappointed sellers, but buyers still have work to do. A crack in a level that has held for an extended period can change traders\u2019 mindset. Buyers who previously leaned confidently against the 200-hour moving average have now seen that support give way\u2014even if only briefly.<\/p>\n<p>To regain more control, buyers need to push the price above $101.48 and stay above it. That would strengthen the recovery and suggest today\u2019s downside break was a failed attempt to shift control to the sellers.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, a move back below $100.08 and $100 would put sellers back in position to test $99.79, followed by the more important $99.45 low. Breaking that Tuesday low would add confirmation to the bearish move.<\/p>\n<p>Until the price breaks free, the two hourly moving averages remain the key barometers. Watch for a sustained break and follow-through momentum. Today\u2019s reversal is a reminder that getting through a technical level is only the first step. Staying through it is what gives traders greater confidence in the move.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Greg Michalowski at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WTI crude oil had traded above its 200-hour moving average since breaking higher on October 12.
