WTI: Door open to a test of $90.00

The downtick was accompanied by diminishing open interest and volume, hinting at the idea that the continuation of the leg lower could lose some traction in the very near term. That said, the next support of note emerges at the $90.00 neighbourhood per barrel, levels prevailing before the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
