WTI is holding onto the recent bounce off the Feb 4 low of $49.31. The current

focus is on the potential for a correction higher near-term. This will depend on

resistance at $52.20, Feb 6 high that was probed on both Friday and Monday. If

cleared, the evidence would point towards short-term base building and open

$54.37, the Jan 29 high. A failure to hold onto gains however would again

highlight this year's bearish theme with key support at $49.31, the Feb 4 low.
