WTI futures are holding on to this week’s gains. The contract has pierced resistance at the 50-day EMA - at $78.34. A clear break of this hurdle would strengthen this week’s recovery and open $80.22, a Fibonacci retracement. Clearance of $80.22 would expose the key resistance at $82.66, the Jan 18 high. On the downside, a break of $72.25, the Feb 6 low, would reinstate a bearish theme.
