WTI long continuationWTI has recently bounced long but in the previous sessions it is drifting without any strong directional confirmation. For the upside to continue I am expecting price to hold long above the 45.65-45.80 zone and also show increasing strength through 46.70-46.94 to confirm upward pressure.

Crude Remains Under Downward PressureCrude Oil sold off today, falling .43 points and continuing to stay well under the 7 day moving average. And while the haDelta indicator last Tuesday gave a potential reversal signal (see the yellow circle?), there is no indication that the downward wave is finished.
The bottom indicator is the Elliot Wave Oscillator. It, too, is showing strong downward movement. I am expecting price to keep moving lower towards the 47.70 - 47.15 range. The first is the lower Bollinger Band and the second is the yellow trend line.
Zoomed out chart to show the entire trend line.
The Heikin-Ashi chart shows that Monday's Heikin-Ashi candle was a decent recovery after last Firday's doji. While it wasn't the strongest of candles and is still inside of last Thursday's candle, it is still red and confirms the downward trend.
