On the daily chart, WTI has been in the continuous uptrend after crossing the 21-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $67.62 since August 27.
After testing the seven-year high at around $80.00, WTI looks exhaustive near these levels. To continue the upside, the price has to give a daily close above 80.50 to test Monday’s high of 81.28. WTI bulls will then keep their eyes on October 2014 high at $92.96.
