Recent weakness in WTI futures resulted in a breach of the 50-day EMA. This marked an extension of the current bearish cycle and the print below the EMA still suggests scope for an extension lower short-term. The focus is on $92.20, Mar 15 low and an important bear trigger. Initial firm resistance has been defined at $105.59, Apr 5 high. Recent gains are considered corrective. A break of $105.59 however would ease bearish pressure.
