WTI Future Outlook Remains Bearish Despite Recent Recovery

COMMODITIES

WTI futures continue to trade below resistance at $75.06, the Jun 5 high and the outlook remains bearish, despite last week’s recovery. The pullback from $75.06 reinforces a bearish theme. Support at $67.03, May 31 low, has recently been pierced, a clear break would open $63.90, May 4 low. Moving average studies are in a bear mode position highlighting a downtrend. A break of $75.06 would signal a reversal. S/T gains are considered corrective. The bear cycle in Gold remains intact. The yellow metal breached trendline support last week, drawn from the Nov 3 2022 low. The trendline intersects at $1969.03. The break of this line reinforces a bearish condition and marks a resumption of the downtrend. The focus is on $1903.5, 61.8% of the Feb 28 - May 4 bull cycle. Initial firm resistance is $1985.3, the May 24 high. Clearance of this resistance would signal a short-term reversal instead.
