WTI futures traded higher last week and in the process, cleared both the 20- and 50 EMAs. This has strengthened the bullish theme and signals scope for a continuation higher. Attention is on the next key resistance at $96.82, the Aug 30 high. A break would further strengthen a bullish outlook. Initial firm support lies at $87.61, the 50-day EMA. Key support is still far off at $76.25, the Sep 26 low. The latest pullback is considered corrective.
