A sharp sell-off in WTI futures last week strengthened bearish conditions and signals scope for a continuation lower. The move lower resulted in a break of support at $101.53, Jun 22 low and a short-term bear trigger. This signals scope for weakness towards $93.45 next, the Apr 25 low and beyond. On the upside, key short-term resistance has been defined at $114.05, the Jun 29 high. Short-term gains are considered corrective.
