WTI futures traded lower Thursday and the pullback means that - for now - the contract has failed to overcome resistance at the 50-day EMA, which intersects at $74.31. Recent short-term gains are considered corrective, however, a clear breach of the 50-day EMA would highlight a stronger bullish theme and expose $76.74, the Apr 28 high. Support to watch lies at $69.39, the May 15 low. A break would be bearish.
