WTI crude oil’s recent free fall resumes today by taking out 54.84 low and reaches as low as 53.65 so far. Near term outlook will now stay bearish as long as 58.04 resistance holds even in case of recovery.
Fall from 77.06 is at least correcting the up trend from 27.69 to 77.06. Based on current momentum, it could indeed be an impulsive move rather than a corrective move. In either case, deeper decline should be seen to 61.8% retracement of 27.69 to 77.06 at 46.54 in medium term.
Also, a net effect in the currency markets is a drag on the Canadian Dollar.
