WTI futures traded lower again Tuesday. This reinforces the current bearish theme and highlights potential for a continuation lower. An extension would open $80.35, a Fibonacci retracement level and potentially $76.25 further out, the Sep 26 low. On the upside, a reversal higher and a resumption of gains would instead suggest scope for a climb towards the key short-term resistance at $93.64, the Oct 10 high. Initial firm resistance is at $90.07.
