WTI could target the 200-day SMA at $56.40

Prices of the barrel of WTI advanced markedly on Wednesday, regaining the $53.00 mark and beyond. Rising open interest allows for the continuation of the bullish move, although the moderate drop in volume warns against a sustainable recovery for the time being. That said, the next target of significance in crude oil emerges at the 200-day SMA, today at $56.40.
