Trend signals in WTI futures remain bearish and the latest recovery still appears to be a correction - for now. The contract has traded through the 50-day EMA at $74.28. This opens $76.31, the Dec 26 high and a near-term bull trigger. A break of this hurdle would undermine the bearish theme. Moving average studies continue to highlight a downtrend. The trigger for a resumption of the downtrend is $68.28, Dec 13 low.
