WTI futures have reversed a large part of its recent gains. This affirms the strength of resistance at the 50-day EMA of 71.91, which remains the key upside hurdle for bulls. This price action confirms the recovery since Sep 9 as a correction. Note that moving average studies are in a bear-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant downtrend. A continuation lower would refocus attention on $64.61, the Sep 10 low and bear trigger.
