WTI futures traded higher again Tuesday and the contract remains in a short-term corrective cycle. A recent reversal signal was confirmed on Jul 14 - a hammer candle formation. Attention is on the next firm resistance at $102.29, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average is required to suggest scope for a stronger recovery. On the downside, a reversal lower would refocus attention on $88.23, the Jul 14 low and bear trigger.
