  • SUP 4: $60.77 - Low Aug 23 and a key support

WTI futures traded lower earlier this week but did find support at Wednesday’s low. A deeper retracement would signal scope for weakness towards $65.60, the Dec 3 low. The major support is at the Dec 2 low of $62.43. On the upside, clearance of $73.34, Dec 9 high and $74.05 the 50-day EMA would reinstate a bullish focus and open $78.65, Nov 26 low. MA studies are pointing south. This suggests short-term gains are corrective.
