WTI Crude Oil Futures Weekly Chart Outlook via @KnovaWave

WTI bounced off the tenkan and 50 dma zone to close over the cloud , is it a significant event?  Since it filled the gap without any resistance quickly completing a fractal spit per Adam's Theory it has built an ABC or 1-2 i ii of 3 in consolidation with the $ES_F supporting. We saw a little bull flag powered by the Kijun holding and powering through tenkan and 50 dma. Tne near 58 highs tells us whether this is 1-2 ot a-b. The impulse meant a C or (Y) complete - bullish case would be a developing X 

After WTI spat the weekly 61.8% momentum continued with power through the gap up. We closed right at Tenkan, Kijun and 50wma confluence (green) under the cloud, This week we are back retesting after rallied off channel.
