Crude oil WTI Technical Analysis: Consolidation phase after 10% decline

  • WTI tanked almost 10% in the last 4 sessions as it reached a weekly bullish trendline.
  • The market is consolidating the strong sell-off of the last few days as the market is deliberating between more losses or a resumption of the bull trend of the last months.
  • A move above $67.00-$67.30 a barrel can open the gates to a reversal up, although it feels slightly premature at this stage.
  • A strong break below 66.00 can see an extension of the bear move towards the 64.00 handle.
