How to read WTI Crude Oil sentiment
Retail sentiment shows the percentage of open positions betting on a rise (long) versus a fall (short). Because the retail crowd is frequently positioned against the trend, many traders use extreme readings — roughly 70% or more on one side — as a contrarian signal rather than a green light to follow the majority.
Watch for shifts, not just levels: a fast swing in WTI Crude Oil positioning around news or key technical levels often says more than the absolute ratio.
Sentiment is one panel of ninety.
