Crude Oil Futures - A Deeper Drop Seems Not Favored

Considering advanced prints from CME Group for crude oil futures markets, open interest extended the downtrend on Thursday, this time diminishing by around 16.7K contracts. Volume, instead, increased for the third consecutive session, now by nearly 186K contracts.

On the downside, the next contention area is expected at the $70.00 zone.
