Bearish conditions in WTI futures remain intact and Monday’s sell-off reinforces the bear theme. Resistance to watch is $74.85, the 50-day EMA. The average was briefly pierced late December. A clear break of it would strengthen a bullish theme and highlight a stronger reversal. For bears, moving average studies are in a bear-mode position too, highlighting a downtrend. The trigger for a resumption of the trend is $67.98, Dec 13 low.
