WTI daily chart

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.

Prices took shelter at the double bottom formation near the $61.80 levels and retraced back to highs of $68.44, where it currently hovers.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator trades in the oversold zone. Any downtick in the MACD could aid the downside movement below the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $67.27 to the $66.70  horizontal support level.

Next, bears would aim toward the low of August 24 at $65.34, followed by the $64.70  horizontal support level. 

Alternatively, if prices move higher, it could move back to $68.70 horizontal resistance level, above the bearish sloping line.

Next, the bulls would attempt to meet the high made on August 6 at $69.22.

A daily close above the mentioned level would further encourage WTI bulls to recapture the $70.40 horizontal resistance level.
