West Texas Light Crude (WTIC) - Breaking Very Long-Term Dual Support Lines on Weekly Chart

As the 20-year-long, weekly closing price chart below shows, West Texas Light Crude (WTIC) appears to have broken dual rising support lines (green), one of which extends back nearly twenty years. 

WTIC's latest plunge came after testing former support as resistance (red line on main chart) and rebounding off oversold conditions to test momentum resistance (RSI - upper chart).

WTIC was down almost 6.5% this week and WTIC is again moving into oversold conditions per RSI.

What's next for WTIC? The future is impossible to predict. However, breaking major support could trigger much more selling if WTIC does not regain these support lines quickly.  There could also be a rally, sooner or later, that retests these support lines as resistance before even lower prices occur.

In any case, eventually we shall see where oil prices end up.
