The technical analysis of WTI crude oil

For long as the pricing is under $82.00 PB, WTI is technically remains biased lower. Oil’s decline into the year’s lower zone, at $72.30. Breaching beneath the bottom of $72.50 set on January 4. It further worsened by WTI’s failure to break through the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $77.65 past Friday.

But since then, oil has bounced back and is heading to the $73.80 region, making room for a boost. WTI’s first barrier would therefore be $74.00. If the latter is broken, the 20-day EMA at 77.64, the psychological mark of 78.00, and the 50-day EMA at 78.77 will all be exposed. Yet, once it falls beneath $72.30, WTI’s price would start to decline again.
