WTI daily chart
- WTI is taking the bids around $57.00 during early Asian sessions on Friday.
- In spite of being on recovery mode during the fourth consecutive day, the energy benchmark needs to cross the early-month reversal point of $57.90 in order to aim for $58.20 comprising November 16 high.
- Should there be additional upside past-$58.20, $59.00 and $60.00 round-figure may gain Bulls’ attention.
- Meanwhile, $56.50 and 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement of its October – December 2018 downturn, at $55.75 may please sellers ahead of diverting their attention to an upward sloping trend-line stretched since late-December, at $55.00.
- In case prices continued declining under $55.00, 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of $52.30 can become Bears’ favorite.
