Intermediate downtrend for West Texas Intermediate
West Texas Intermediate is testing major support in the $42 to $43 price zone. There is a high probability this support zone will not hold which would put a test of the $40 price zone in play. If you need another negative, the 50-day moving average has crossed below the 200-day moving average: the old death cross.
Reference my last chart analysis for WTI posted on May 4, 2017.

Adjusted or unadjusted charts in stockcharts.com?
Stockcharts.com displays adjusted charts as a default. The data is adjusted by adding dividends back into the stock price. When a company pays a relatively high dividend, this has a dramatic impact on the weekly chart. It is my opinion that unadjusted charts should be used in technical analysis. The following three-year weekly charts for Dream Office REIT highlight the impact of using adjusted charts. What chart would you use for your chart analysis? Or, does it matter?
