WTI Oil Technical Analysis: Bears in control

  • The downside break of the rising channel seen on the hourly chart adds credence to the bearish (downward sloping) 5-day and 10-day moving averages (MAs) and indicates US oil prices could be headed back to the 200-day MA support, currently seen at $64.75.
  • A daily close above the 10-day MA would abort the bearish view. At press time, the short-term MA is located at $66.30.
