WTI faces interim hurdle near $54.50
Prices of the barrel of WTI approached the $54.00 mark on Thursday amidst rising open interest and volume. Against this, the door remains open for further advances in the very near-term with the next interim resistance at $54.45 (February 2020 high). However, a potential correction lower should not be ruled out in light of the current overbought conditions.
