Trend conditions in WTI futures remain bearish. Recent gains however, have highlighted a bullish corrective cycle and last week this resulted in a test of the 20-day EMA, at $77.07. A clear break of this hurdle would signal scope for an extension and open $80.57, the 50-day EMA. On the downside, a stronger reversal lower would refocus attention on the bear trigger which lies at $70.08, the Dec 9 low.
