WTI futures traded higher last week and maintained a firmer tone. The recovery since Sep 9, appears - for now - to be a correction. The 20-day EMA, at $70.27, has been pierced. The next key resistance is $72.46, the 50-day EMA. Note that moving average studies are in a bear-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant downtrend. A reversal lower would refocus attention on $64.61, the Sep 10 low and bear trigger.
