Crude Oil Futures: Probable rebound near term

WTI faces the next support around $60.00
Crude oil prices extended the leg lower on Thursday, managing to briefly test the $62.60 area before rebounding and closing above the $63.00 yardstick. The move was amidst shrinking open interest, which keeps pointing to a bounce in the very near term. Supporting this view emerges the current oversold conditions of the commodity. In the meantime, the critical 200-day SMA above the $60.00 mark per barrel still emerges as the next support of significance for the WTI.
