  • PRICE: $110.03 @ 07:12 GMT Mar 23
  • SUP 1: $101.56 - 20-day EMA
  • SUP 2: $93.80/92.20 - 50-day EMA / Low Mar 15

  • SUP 4: $85.81 - Low Feb 18

WTI futures are holding onto recent gains following the recovery from $92.20, the Mar 15 low. The move higher means the 50-day EMA, at $93.80 today, remains intact and that this average also provided a firm short-term support last week. A continuation higher would open 118.34, a Fibonacci retracement level. On the downside, a breach of the 50-day EMA would instead reinstate the recent bearish theme.
