WTI futures are trading closer to their recent lows. A bearish theme remains intact following the sell-off on Jan 3 and 4. Key support and the bear trigger lies at $70.31, the Dec 9 low. A break of this level would confirm a resumption of the broader downtrend and maintain a bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. This would open $68.19, a Fibonacci projection. On the upside, key resistance is at $81.50, the Jan 3 high.
