A bear threat in WTI futures remains present and Wednesday’s strong bounce is considered corrective - for now. The recent breach of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs, reinforces a bear theme. A continuation lower would open $72.23, the Jun 4 low and the next key support. For bulls, a reversal higher would instead refocus attention on the key resistance points at $83.58, the Jul 5 high, and $84.36, the Apr 12 high.
