Trend conditions in WTI futures remain bearish. However, recent gains have highlighted a bullish corrective cycle and this has resulted in break of the 20-day EMA, at $76.94. The move above this hurdle signals scope for an extension towards $79.73, the 50-day EMA and a key resistance. On the downside, a stronger reversal lower would refocus attention on the bear trigger which lies at $70.31, the Dec 9 low.
