A bearish threat in WTI futures remains present. Last week’s break of triangle resistance, drawn from the Mar 15 low, highlighted a bullish development. However the sell-off this week suggests the break was likely a false one. This threatens the recent recovery and instead exposes support at $95.28, Apr 25 low. A break would strengthen a bearish case and confirm a bearish triangle breakout instead. Key resistance is at $111.37, the May 5 high.
