Abstract:WTI crude oil prices remain firmer around the highest levels since May 2011 despite the latest pullback from tops to $111.40 during Thursdays Asian session.

WTI bulls take a breather near the highest level since May 2011.
Confirmation of a bullish chart pattern, upbeat MACD signals favor buyers.
200-SMA restricts short-term declines, 2011s high lures bulls.
The black gold teases the neckline of the inverse head-and-shoulders (H&S) bullish chart formation by the press time.
Also favoring the quotes further upside are the firmer MACD signals and successful trading beyond the 200-SMA.
That said, tops marked during the year 2011 near $114.80 seem to lure WTI bulls during the fresh upside.
Following that, the theoretical target surrounding $118.00 will be on the cards.
Alternatively, a downside break of the nearby resistance-turned-support line, at $111.30 by the press time, will negate the latest bullish breakout.
Even so, the WTI bears will remain cautious until the prices stay above the 200-SMA level of 103.82.
