WTI Technical Analysis: “Rising Wedge” breakout in place, initially targeting $51.10
WTI daily chart
- Failure to surpass 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement of its October to December 2018 downturn highlights the importance of two-week low of $51.10, breaking which 50-day simple moving average (SMA) figure of $50.60 can gain market attention.
- In case prices refrain to respect $50.60 level, the $50.00 mark and the $49.10-$49.00 horizontal-area may become next support to watch.
- On the upside, a closing break of $55.45, comprising 38.2% Fibonacci, could accelerate the upmoves to 100-day SMA level of $58.20.
