WTI futures have recovered from Monday’s low of $66.12. Despite the recovery, a bearish threat remains present. The recent move lower has resulted in a breach of support at $69.21 and this signals scope for a sell-off towards $65.45, the Dec 3 low and more importantly towards the key support at $62.26, the Dec 2 low. On the upside, key near-term resistance is seen at $73.13, the Dec 9 high and is just above the 50-day EMA at $73.06.
