WTI futures have also started the week on a softer note trading sharply lower off Friday's high of $49.43. Trend conditions are overbought and the sell-off does signal the possible start of a corrective phase. A deeper pullback would suggest scope for weakness towards $46.09, the 20-day EMA. Clearance of this average would allow for a deeper pullback. The underlying trend remains bullish though, a break of $49.43 resumes the trend.
