WTI futures remain in a bear-mode condition and gains are considered corrective. Last week’s sell-off resulted in a move through key support and the bear trigger at $60.85, the Aug 13 low. Clearance of this level strengthens a bearish theme and paves the way for an extension towards $57.50, the May 30 low. Initial firm resistance has been defined at $66.42, the Sep 29 high. Clearance of this level would highlight a reversal. A bull cycle in Gold remains in play and Monday’s fresh cycle high, reinforces current conditions. This maintains the price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Furthermore, momentum studies highlight a condition known as momentum drag - where momentum studies remain in overbought territory and move sideways - a bullish signal. Sights are on $3987.3 next, a Fibonacci projection. Support to watch lies at $3753.2, the 20-day EMA.
