What this week's report says

Managed money added 6,308 long contracts and added 4,303 short contracts in WTI Crude Oil this week — a net bullish shift of +2,005 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.
