Given the lack of any market moving developments, we maintain our bias in favour for the prolongment of a sideway scenario, awaiting for a catalyst. Supporting the case is the RSI indicator which has relatively speaking flatlined around the 50 level signalling textbook indecision, alongside the lack of momentum broadcasted by the ADX indicator and the tangled +DI and -DI lines, showcasing lack of either buying or selling pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should the bears take control of the direction with strong momentum on their side, we would reasonably expect to see a break below the $60.00 (S1) support base and the fall of the commodity towards the $55.15 (S2) support area. Should on the other hand the bulls find enough strength, we would reasonably expect to see WTI retesting and breaking definitively the $63.60 (R1) resistance level and climb towards the $67.00 (R2) resistance barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technical Analysis of Oil WTI Chart \u2013 Negative momentum drives WTI prices closer to fresh 4 year lows WTI futures stayed stuck between $60 (S1) and $63.60 (R1) bounds over the past week as neither the bulls nor the bears took control of the direction of the commodity.
