WTI futures continue to trade closer to this week’s highs. Price has breached resistance at the 20-day EMA which intersects at $72.64. The break is a short-term bullish development and a continuation higher would expose the 50-day EMA, at $74.96. This average represents the next key resistance point. On the downside, initial firm support lies at $66.82, the Mar 24 low. A break of this level would be bearish.
