Hedge funds, according to COT data are very active in accumulating longing positions, and it fixed above the technical horizontal level on the daily chart. 

Market makers could absorb that liquidity and unload it lower.

Moreover, the activity in Put options is stronger than in Calls and the minimum payouts level is also much lower. So I am 🐻 bearish in crude oil, if you also think so, put 👍 and have a nice Sunday!
