WTI futures are trading lower but for now remain above key short-term support at $81.20, the 50-day EMA. The recent move down between Apr 12 - 22, highlights a corrective phase and a clear break of the 50-day average would signal scope for a deeper retracement towards $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. A breach of this level would resume the uptrend.
