Given this move we are forced to alter our bias from bearish to sideways, albeit the recent rise in momentum in favour of the bulls, adopting a wait and see approach before switching entirely our assessment for a bullish case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporting our case is the RSI indicator which registers a value of 53 indicating temporarily indecision and both the MACD and signal lines that remain below the threshold, showcasing that this week\u2019s move may be just a corrective rebound. Should the bulls manage to keep price above both the 12 and 26 EMAs and maintain control over the direction, we would reasonably expect to see WTI breaking past the $63.60 (R1) resistance level and climb towards the $67.00 (R2) resistance barrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should on the other hand, bullish momentum wear out and the bears regain control, we may see the commodity snap below the $60.00 (S1) support base that formerly acted as resistance, and the price action heading near the $55.15 (S2) base.<\/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 Earlier this week the bulls managed stay ahead and overpower the strength of the bears, aiding the commodity higher closer to tis former April highs.
