WTI daily chart

  • WTI is taking the rounds near $59.00 during early Wednesday.
  • The energy benchmark struggles with 15-week old ascending trend-line stretched since December 04, at $60.00, in order to justify its strength while 14-day relative strength index (RSI) being close to the overbought region.
  • As a result, the quote can witness pullback to $57.80/85 resistance-turned-support including highs marked on Feb 20 and March 01 coupled with March 15 low.
  • Though, price decline under $57.80 may have lesser supports than to meet 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of October – December downturn at $55.70 and $54.10 comprising 100-day simple moving average.
  • On the contrary, a successful break of $60.00 enables buyers to aim for 200-day SMA level of $61.90 with $61.00 round-figure expected to offer intermediate halt.
  • If bulls refrain from respecting 200-day SMA, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement near $64.00 could flash on their radar to target.
