Renewed concerns over the ongoing supply glut has been weighing on sentiment as of late, prompting crude oil prices to abandon the area of recent 2016 peaks in the boundaries of $42.00.

Ahead in the session, the US oil rig count tracked by driller Baker Hughes is due.
WTI levels to consider
At the moment the barrel of WTI is down 03.55% at $36.98 facing the immediate support at $35.96 (low Mar.15) ahead of $35.26 (100-day sma) and then $33.84 (55-day sma). On the other hand, a break above $38.60 (20-day sma) would aim for $40.12 (high Mar.28) and finally $40.84 (200-day sma).
