Quote from marketsurfer:
"In a market like today, which is trending higher while open interest is falling, it's a sign that money is moving out of the market."
Facts are that the interest on NYMEX crude oil futures peaked on March 13th at 1.5 million barrels. A record number of small speculators, per the CFTC, were short, betting on a fast drop during the week of May 6th. I stand by my contention that it is a speculative frenzy driving prices at these levels, and not true supply/demand dynamics. We may be due for a pull back.
