WTI futures traded higher last week. The contract has breached resistance at $76.31, the Dec 26 high. The clear break of this hurdle undermines the recent bearish theme and highlights a stronger short-term bullish condition. A continuation higher would signal scope for a climb towards $79.56, the Nov 30 high. On the downside, initial key support lies at $74.55, the 50-day EMA. A break would be a bearish development.
