WTI futures remain vulnerable and are trading at the most recent lows. The contract has recently failed to clear key resistance around the 50-day EMA - the average intersects at $99.87. Price has also breached support at $93.01, the Jul 25 low. The break lower strengthens bearish conditions and opens $88.23, Jul 14 low and a key support. Key resistance has been defined at $101.88, Jul 29 high. A break of this level would reinstate a bullish theme.
