WTI futures sold off sharply Mar 18 confirming a corrective cycle. The recent trend condition was overbought and a pullback is allowing this to unwind. The move lower has probed trendline support drawn off the Nov 2, 2020 low and this reinforces the current bearish theme. Price has also tested the 50-day EMA. A clear break of the average would open $55.65, the 38.2% retracement of the Nov 2 - Mar 8 rally. Resistance is at $62.39.
