WTI futures remain in a bearish condition and last week’s impulsive sell-off reinforces this theme. The move down resulted in a breach of key support at $70.88, the Aug 5 low. The clear break of this level confirms a resumption of the downtrend that started Apr 12 and opens $66.66, a Fibonacci projection. MA studies are in a bear-mode position highlighting a clear downtrend. Initial firm resistance is at $72.67, the 20-day EMA.
