Whilst supply remains tight demand continues to rise, particularly as air travel and trans-Atlantic travel picks up.

Where next for WTI crude oil?

WTI crude oil has been trending lower since October 25^th. The price hit a low of 77.70 on 4^th November and has been attempting to rebound.

However, failure to retake the 200 sma and the bearish RSAI suggests more downside could be on the cards.

Immediate support can be seen at 79.43 the weekly low. Beyond that the November low of 77.70 comes into play and 74.80 October 7 low.

Buyers need to see a move above the 200 sma at the 80.60 and expose the 81.30. A move above the falling trend line at $83.95.
