In the past week, the price of oil has been experiencing a pullback after having created a higher high. Weeks before that, the price of oil decreased in a series of falling peaks and troughs. The downward trend was changed when price went passed the resistance level at 77.82, creating a new higher high. After having created the higher high level on the 29/06, price retraced below the resistance level at 77.82 and it is currently sitting at 77.05.
The pullback in price was also caused by the trade war that has been going on between the two large economies (U.S and China). This pullback might continue happening and price has a chance of falling towards the support level at 75.05.
Since price has created a new higher high, this could be seen as the first sign that trend was changing. So for trade ideas it is better to wait for price to reach the support level at 75.05 and to have a price action signal before any pending orders can be placed.
