On the daily chart, WTI has been under intense pressure since the beginning of the descending trend channel from the high of $76.40 made on July 6.
The formation of lower lows and lower highs tells about the bearish trend for oil prices. However multiple support formation near $66.50 makes it a crucial level to trade.
A corrective pullback in prices is expected toward the previous day’s high of $67.46 followed by the $68.90 horizontal resistance level.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator trades in the oversold zone. Any uptick in the MACD could aid the upward movement until the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $69.78.
Alternatively, if prices move lower, it could retrace back to the low of $65.53 made on August 16.
Next, the bears would attempt to meet the $64.95 horizontal support level.
A daily close below the mentioned level would further encourage WTI bears to testify low of May 24 at $63.58.
