WTI futures remain vulnerable and the contract is trading lower this morning. Last Wednesday’s sell-off resulted in the break of key support at $70.86, the Dec 9 low. The breach confirms a resumption of the medium-term downtrend and reinforces current bearish conditions. Note too that price has also cleared the psychological $70.00 handle.
