WTI futures are trading just above this week’s low print of $73.70 (Feb 1). The sharp reversal undermines the recent bullish theme. A continuation lower would expose support at $70.62, the Jan 17 low, and $69.56, the Jan 3 low. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus attention on the key short-term resistance at $79.29, Jan 29 high. A break of this level is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
