WTI Price Analysis: The 100-SMA examines Oil bears near $79

WTI crude oil stays in the red for the second consecutive day after retreating from a one-week high the previous day, with intraday losses of 0.30% near $79.30 as the European day begins on Monday.

 

In doing so, black gold pokes the 100-bar Simple Moving Average (SMA), which is approximately $79.20 at the time of publication.

 

The energy benchmark's decline may be related to the price's failure to cross the support-turned-resistance from January 12 in the early Asian session. Downward-sloping MACD signals and a sinking RSI (14) line could bolster the bearish stance.

 

Notably, a break below the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) at $79.20 may struggle to appease Oil bearish, as the $79.00 mark and the 200-day SMA, close to $78.15, could challenge the price's further decline.
