Hey KoraFX fam! William here, checking in from Seattle. WTI has been a bit of a mixed bag lately, but right now, it's looking pretty bearish on the charts. We're currently sitting around 72.2083, down about 0.4% today, and frankly, I'm eyeing a short swing play.

Charting the Bearish Path


The trend is clearly bearish, and looking at the daily range, we've bounced off the 72.6459 resistance area more than once. My plan is to catch a quick retest of that 72.35 zone for an entry. I'm setting my stop loss just above the key 73.05 resistance level. This gives us some room, but if we break above 73, my thesis is busted. On the downside, we've got support at 71.7707, 71.5, and 71. My take profit target is a good chunk lower, at 70.95. This looks juicy if we get that push down!

Fundamentals & Patience


From a fundamental perspective, there are still a lot of global demand concerns lingering, and that's keeping a lid on any major rallies for crude. While we did see a bounce from the 71.7707 support earlier, the overall sentiment and the technicals suggest more downside pressure is likely. This is a swing trade, so patience is key. We're trading what the chart shows, not what we want it to show. Easy money if you're patient! Let's go!
