WTI Oil Technical Analysis: RSI may hold key for price pullback
|WTI oil's pullback from the Jan. 11 high of $53.29 could gather traction if the relative strength index confirms a bear flag breakdown.
3-hour chart
As seen above, the ascending 50-candle MA has put brakes on the price pullback. The RSI, however, has created a bear flag - a bearish continuation pattern - which is essentially a pause that accelerates the preceding bearish move.
As a result, the flag breakdown on the RSI could be considered an advance warning of a deeper price pullback to the 100-candle MA, currently at $49.43. Interestingly, the rising trendline is currently located just below the 100-candle MA.
