WTI futures levelled off Wednesday, holding above the Monday high and erasing the weakness seen at the beginning of the week. Nonetheless, prices hold south of the 50-day EMA at 69.73, which switches from support to resistance. This re-initiates the downside argument, opening $65.01, Jul 20 low and the key support. To resume recent gains, WTI needs to top the 50-dma at 70.96 initially well ahead of Jul30 highs of 74.23.
