WTI futures traded in a volatile manner Tuesday and the contract has recovered from its recent lows. Resistance at the 50-day EMA, at $71.63, has been pierced. A clear breach of this EMA is required to highlight a stronger reversal that would open $76.40, the Aug 26 high. For bears, a reversal lower would refocus attention on the key support and bear trigger at $64.61, the Sep 10 low. Clearance of this level would resume the downtrend.
