The price of WTI Crude Oil has mounted a strong recovery after testing the polarity point on the chart between $49/51 per barrel. A polarity point is where prior resistance may act as future support. Oil traders should look to see if the price can continue to find support near the $50/bbl figure. Since summer, the dominant trend bias favors price appreciation.
From current pricing, a hold of a daily close above the $50.18 figure (Oct. 12 low) opens the door for a challenge of $52.83-53.94/bbl (September high, 100% Fib extension). Alternatively, a reversal and close back below $50.18 exposes $49.13 (October low, trend line pivot).
