FXOPEN:XTIUSD   US WTI Crude (Spot) (XTIUSD)
Fundamental Development: Oil prices edged down on Wednesday, pressured by global central bank efforts to tame inflation and ahead of expected builds in U.S. crude inventories as product, demand weakens. Brent crude prices for September fell 37 cents, or 0.3%, to $106.98 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for August slipped 69 cents, or 0.7%, to $103.53 per barrel. The WTI contract will expire later on Wednesday. The more active September WTI contract was at $100.24 a barrel, down 50 cents. Oil prices whipsawed in the previous session, caught in a tug-of-war between supply fears due to Western sanctions on Russia and pressures on indications from central bankers that they will raise interest rates to combat inflation.

Short Term Technical View: In 1-hour chart, XTIUSD is trading below middle line of Bollinger band indicator. As per RSI Indicator showing bullishness in 1-hour chart, XTIUSD pivot level is 98.86 as per today 1-hour chart, my view is buy in dip strategy is good for XTIUSD. Buy range of XTIUSD is 98 to 97.75 and there is very strong support zone at 96.

Alternative Scenario: If XTIUSD will trade below 96 and sustain below in U.S. Session so it will be, give great opportunity to sell with the target of 94.55 with the stop loss of 97.55. ( Note- Crude Oil Inventory Data Time : 8:00 pm IST )
