What this week's report says

Managed money cut 8,560 long contracts and cut 4,173 short contracts in WTI Crude Oil this week — a net bearish shift of −4,387 contracts. They remain net long overall.

Managed money and producers & merchants moved in opposite directions this week — speculative and institutional flows disagree on WTI Crude Oil.

Open interest fell while positioning shifted — traders are closing exposure rather than adding, which weakens the signal.
