The short-term trend conditions in WTI futures are bullish. The contract has traded above both the 20- and 50-day EMA points and this suggests scope for a stronger short-term recovery. The focus is on the next key resistance at $83.27, the Dec 1 high. Clearance of this level, if seen, would strengthen bullish conditions. On the downside, key short-term support has been defined at $76.79, the Dec 29 low where a break would signal a top.
