Last week’s move lower in WTI futures highlights the start of a short-term bearish corrective cycle. The contract has traded through the 20-day EMA and this has exposed key short-term support at the 50-day EMA, at $80.75. A clear break of the average would signal a stronger bearish theme and open $76.07, the Mar 11 low. On the upside, key resistance and the bull trigger has been defined at $86.97, the Apr 12 high.
