FXOPEN:XTIUSD   US WTI Crude (Spot) (XTIUSD)
Fundamental Development: Oil prices were flat to weaker on Wednesday ahead of a meeting of OPEC+ producers, stabilizing after a drop of 1% in early trade amid fears that a slowdown in global growth would hit fuel demand. Brent crude futures were last down 3 cents, or 0.03%, at $100.51 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were flat at $94.42 a barrel. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia, together known as OPEC+, meet on Wednesday. OPEC+ sources told Reuters last week that the group would likely keep output unchanged in September, or raise it slightly. Ahead of the meeting, OPEC+ trimmed its forecast for an oil market surplus this year by 200,000 barrels per day (bpd), to 800,000 bpd, three delegates told Reuters.

As per RSI Indicator showing weakness in 1-hour chart, XTIUSD pivot level is 93.75 as per today 1-hour chart, my view is sell on rise strategy is good for XTIUSD.
