WTI Choppy Waters: Quick Intraday Short Play for a Tight Range

The WTI Grind Continues

Alright team, let's take a look at WTI. It's been a real grind out there, with crude oil locked in a pretty tight sideways trend. We're currently hanging around 72.5067, almost dead center in today's super narrow range of 72.4966 to 72.5168.
