WTI futures remain vulnerable. This week’s move down has resulted in a print below support at $87.01, the Aug 5 low. The weakness reinforces bearish conditions and a clear break of $87.01 would confirm a resumption of the downtrend. Attention is on $85.37, the Mar 15 low and the $85.00 handle. On the upside, key short-term resistance has been defined at $95.05, the Aug 11 high.
