After a recent upmove, WTI oil had stalled and is now moving sideways. The commodity continues to trade above a short-term tentative upside support line drawn from the low of June 28th. Although there are signs that a further move higher is possible, we would prefer to wait for a violation of the 74.00 territory first.

If that happens, and WTI breaks above the 74.00 zone, this would confirm a forthcoming higher high. Such a move could clear the way to the 74.73 hurdle, or even to the 77.00 area, near the high of April 28th.

Alternatively, a break of the previously mentioned upside line could signal a change in the direction of the current short-term trend. The commodity could then end up sliding back to the psychological 70-dollar mark.
