WTI crude oil tumbled 3.51% on July 26, the session's steepest intraday decline, closing at $84.20 after touching a low of $83.10 from an open of $86.12.
The selloff represented the largest intraday decline for the session, with prices falling from an open of $86.12 to a low of $83.10 before recovering partially, exchange data show.
The session ranged from a high of $86.20 to a low of $83.10, a $3.10 band. Volume reached 14,846 contracts. The close at $84.20 represents a 2.2% decline from the opening price of $86.12.
The decline erased gains from the opening level and pushed WTI toward the $83 support zone. The next major catalyst for crude prices will be the weekly EIA inventory report, with traders watching for signs of shifting supply-demand balances.
The 3.51% decline was the largest intraday drop for WTI crude on July 26. The open at $86.12 was near the session high of $86.20, indicating selling pressure emerged early in the trading session.
The low of $83.10 was reached during the session before prices recovered to close at $84.20. The partial recovery suggests some buying interest emerged near the session lows, though the overall direction remained negative for the session.
