The recent move lower in WTI futures from $116.64, Mar 24 high, highlights a short-term bearish threat. The contract has also recently traded below the 20-day EMA. Attention is on the 50-day EMA at $97.78. This average represents an important pivot level and a break would suggest scope for a deeper pullback. On the upside, clearance of $116.64 would reinstate recent bullish conditions. Initial resistance is at $108.75.
