WTI futures have been unable to hold on to recent gains and the contract continues to trade lower. The move down undermines a recent bullish theme and this has exposed key support at $71.67, the Aug 5 low and the bear trigger. A break would resume the downtrend that started Apr 12. On the upside, initial resistance to watch is $76.94, the 20-day EMA. Key short-term resistance has been defined at $80.16, the Aug 12 high.
