WTI Future Uptrend Remains Intact

COMMODITIES

The uptrend in WTI futures remains intact and recent weakness is considered corrective. Last week’s move lower resulted in a print below support at $78.33, the Aug 3 low. A clear break of this level would highlight a stronger bear cycle and pave the way for a deeper retracement. Note that a key support also lies at the 50-day EMA, which intersects at $77.67. Initial resistance to watch is $81.75, a break would be a bullish development. The uptrend in WTI futures remains intact and recent weakness is considered corrective.
