WTI: Rallies seen as selling opportunities
Prices of the WTI dropped to fresh 17-year lows near $19.20 per barrel at the beginning of the week and closed the session just above the key $20.00 mark. Rising open interest and volume amidst the current negative price action favour further near-term pullbacks, although it is worth mentioning that the extreme oversold conditions of the commodity could spark eventual bouts of strength. These, however, could be deemed as selling opportunities for the time being.
