CL open interest surged 10.46% in 7 hours, while the price climbed from 89.24 to 92.46 in tandem—new money is coming in, and the structure is bullish. This isn’t a bounce; it’s the start of a trend. My call: go long. Entry: 92.4; first target: 96.2; second target: 99.5; stop-loss: 88.9 (below 89.21—if it breaks, admit you’re wrong and exit). Think about it—really think it through: negative funding plus rising open interest means the shorts are giving you a lift.
