WTI Futures Posts Only Modest Rebound from Intraday Lows

COMMODITIES

WTI futures remain bearish and have traded in a volatile manner today - the contract has recovered from its intraday low of $63.64. The print below $64.58, the Mar 20 low and a key support, reinforces a bearish theme. A clear break of this level would confirm a resumption of the broader downtrend. The short-term trend condition is oversold and gains would be considered corrective. Initial resistance is at $71.79, yesterday’s high. Gold traded higher Wednesday to cancel any short-term bearish threat. Instead, the yellow metal traded through resistance at $2048.7, the Apr 13 high and confirmed a resumption of the broader uptrend. This maintains the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows and moving average studies remain in a bull-mode set-up. The focus is on $2070.4, the Mar 8 ahead of the all-time high at $2075.5. Key support is 1969.3, the Apr 19 low.
