WTI Oil Technical Analysis: bearish pin bar makes today’s close pivotal

WTI oil could suffer a deeper pullback in the next week if prices close below $53.64 today, validating the bearish pin bar candle created yesterday.  

Daily chart

As seen above, WTI rose to $55.35 yesterday – the highest level since Nov. 21 – before ending the day with moderate losses at $53.98.  

Essentially, WTI created a bearish pin bar, which indicates the day began with optimism but ended on a pessimistic note. As a result, that candlestick is widely considered an early sign of bullish-to-bearish trend change.  

The bearish reversal would be confirmed if prices close today below $53.65 – the low of yesterday’s bearish pin bar. That could yield a deeper drop to the psychological support of $50.00 in the next week.
