  • SUP 4: $56.79 - 2.318 proj of the Apr 12 - Jun 4 - Jul 5 price swing

WTI futures remain in a bearish condition. Tuesday’s strong sell-off reinforces current conditions and confirmed an extension of the bear cycle. This suggests that the most recent bounce is a short-term correction. A resumption of the downtrend would open $63.93 next, a Fibonacci projection point, ahead of the psychological $60.00 handle. Firm resistance is at $71.32, the 20-day EMA.
