WTI technical analysis: Price holds at trendline support

 

WTI trades around the 200 weekly EMA near 52.50 and bears will look for a push below the 14th Jan 50.41 low which guards the 26th November lows at 49.44.
We also have the descending wedge patter's support around 49.70/50.00. 
The 61.8% Fibo is also a firm support where price has made a double bottom on a daily basis that meets trend line support.
On the flip-side, a break of 53 opens 54.50 and 56 meeting the 20-D EMA.
