WTI futures are holding on to their latest gains. The move higher since Sep 9, appears - for now - to be a correction. Recent weakness reinforced a bearish condition and note that moving average studies are in a bear-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant downtrend. A resumption of the downtrend would open $63.93 next, a Fibonacci projection point. The 20-day EMA, at $70.99, has been pierced. A clear break of it would open $73.51, the 50-day EMA.
