The uptrend in WTI futures remains intact, however, the contract has entered a short-term bearish corrective cycle. The trend condition is overbought and a move lower would allow this to unwind. The first key support to watch lies at $86.25, the 20-day EMA and is a potential short-term objective. On the upside, clearance of Tuesday’s $92.43 high would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and open $94.66, a Fibonacci projection.
