(Z3) Has Breached Key Support

WTI TECHS
  • RES 4: $98.27 - 1.382 proj of the Jun 28 - Aug 10 - 24 price swing
  • RES 3: $96.03 - 1.236 proj of the Jun 28 - Aug 10 - 24 price swing
  • RES 2: $92.48 - High Sep 28 and a bull trigger
  • RES 1: $85.90/89.85 - High Oct 27 / 20
  • PRICE: $79.95 @ 07:11 GMT Nov 7
  • SUP 1: $78.51 - Low Aug 29
  • SUP 2: $77.74 - 50.0% retracement of the May 4 - Sep 28 bull run
  • SUP 3: $75.47 - Low Jul 24
  • SUP 4: $74.26 - 61.8% retracement of the May 4 - Sep 28 bull run

The medium-term trend condition in WTI futures remains bullish and the recent move lower still appears to be a correction. However, the contract has breached support at $80.20, the Oct 6 low. The break highlights a stronger short-term reversal. A continuation lower would pave the way for a move towards $77.03, the Aug 24 low. On the upside, a break of resistance at $85.90, the Oct 27 high, is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
