WTI FACES INITIAL HURDLE AT $54.45
The barrel of WTI reached fresh yearly tops just below the $54.00 mark on Wednesday before closing the session in the red territory. The move was in tandem with rising open interest and volume, which should be supportive of a corrective move in the very near-term. This view is reinforced by the current overbought levels in the commodity (gauged by the daily RSI). The rsumption of the upside is seen targeting the February 2020 high near $54.50 per ounce.
