OIL
EM BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets

Both Brent and WTI are through their initial resistance levels, printing above $75.50 and $72.00, respectively.

  • Bulls now target the 50-day EMAs, $76.45 in Brent & $72.38 in WTI.
  • Recoveries in crude are deemed corrective at this stage but breaks above those EMAs would aid bullish technical arguments.
