The U.S. Energy Information Administration on Wednesday morning reported that domestic crude supplies fell 5.6 million bbls last week, exceeding a forecast for a decline of 4.1 million bbls from analysts surveyed by S&P Global Platts.

WTI levels

Below $56.30 (Nov. 21 low) WTI is having a look in at $55 (psychological level) with pressure from the 21-D SMA at $57.11 ahead of  $59.05 (Nov. 24 high), $60 (psychological level) and $61.50 (Jun. 22 high) as next resistance. However, there is little hope of a rebound while indicators are turning progressively bearish with RSI (14) now at 47 with a break of 5th Nov lows on the cards at $55.79.
