  • SUP 3: $83.51 - 1.50 projection of the Jun 8 - 22 - 29 price swing
  • SUP 4: $81.34 - 1.618 projection of the Jun 8 - 22 - 29 price swing

WTI futures traded higher late last week and cleared $92.65, the Aug 9 high. The 20-day EMA has also been pierced and this does suggest scope for a stronger near-term bounce, potentially towards the 50-day EMA, at $97.74. Price has pulled back from last week’s high. A stronger reversal would expose the bear trigger at $87.01, the Aug 5 low. Clearance of this support would confirm a resumption of the bear cycle.
