WTI futures traded lower last Thursday to confirm a resumption of the current downtrend. Price however has recovered from $90.56, the Jul 14 low. In pattern terms, last Thursday is a hammer candle formation - a potential short-term reversal signal. A stronger corrective bounce would open the $100.00 handle and above. On the downside, a resumption of weakness and a break of $90.56, would resume the downtrend.
