  • SUP 3: $60.00 - Psychological round number 
  • SUP 4: $57.07 - 2.2368 proj of the Apr 12 - Jun 4 - Jul 5 price swing

WTI futures are softer for a second session, reversing a large part of recent gains. This affirms the strength of resistance at the 50-day EMA of 72.25, which remains the key upside level. This price action confirms the recovery since Sep 9 as a correction. Note that MA 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.
