OIL.WTI is attempting to erase some of the recent losses as sellers failed to break below key support at $71.00. As long as the price sits above, upward correction may be launched. First resistance to watch lies at $73.60. However taking into consideration the gloomy outlook for the global economy, further declines cannot be ruled out. Should break below the aforementioned support occur, the next target for sellers can be found around the $68.00 level. Source: xStation5
