WTI technical analysis: Bears eye a break below the 50 handle

  • Bears remain in control as price stays below the key  daily moving averages.
  • A move below the 50 handle on an escalation of the trade war opens risk to  47.56.

WTI has picked up a slight bid in Asia following yet another washout overnight on trade war fears and subsequent global economic contraction. WTI is currently trading at 52.23, from a low of 52.26 to a high of 52.56 so far.  Technically, the price is still below the 61.8%% Fibo of the late Dec to 2019 range.

Bears are in control as the price stays below  the bearish alignment of the 50 and 200 daily moving averages. A move below the 50 handle on an escalation of the trade war opens risk to  47.56  as the 78.6% Fibo. On the upside, the 20-D moving average guards the run towards 56.80 and then 60.50.
