据油价网4月20日报道，在美国石油市场的另一个看涨指标中，6月结算的WTI原油期货价格上涨0.14美元，收于102.19美元。

5月合约定于今天结束交易，也小幅上涨，收于102.75美元，涨幅0.19%。

尽管看涨情绪盛行，但原油市场再次出现震荡。

美国石油协会(API)的每周库存数据显示，库存减少802万桶，远高于预期的增加247.1万桶。

美国石油协会(API)报告称，汽油库存增加290万桶，高于美国能源部上周预期的100万桶。API还报告称，柴油库存减少170万桶，低于美国能源部上周预期的减少80万桶。总的来说，API显示本周石油和石油产品的产量为330万桶，而能源部的预期产量为0.7万桶。

原油价格在急剧下跌的情况下，WTI价格回到了从4月12日的最低价(101.07美元)上升的50%回收线以下，200小时移动平均线也达到了100.97美元。

油价也一度跌破100美元，但在99.88美元的水平上戛然而止。

WTI6月合约目前在100小时移动平均线的中间价104.66美元附近交易，而上升的200小时移动平均线低于100.97美元(接近50%的中间价101.07美元)。对多头来说，好消息是价格下跌未能维持在50%和200小时移动平均线以下的势头。

U.S. Crude Futures Are Growing Increasingly Bullish

In yet another bullish indicator for U.S. oil markets, the price of WTI crude oil futures for June settlement have notched $0.14 higher to settle at $102.19.

The May contract, set to go off the market today, also gained slightly to settle at $102.75, good for a 0.19% increase.

once again, the crude markets recorded choppy trading despite bullish sentiment prevailing. 

Weekly inventory data by the American Petroleum Institute (API) showed a much higher-than-expected drawdown of -8.02 million barrels against expectations for a 2.471 million barrel increase. 

API reported gasoline inventories rose 2.9mb, relative to the DOE expectation for a draw of 1.0mb on the week. API also reported diesel inventories fell 1.7mb, relative to the DOE expectation for a draw of 0.8mb on the week. In total, API showed a draw of 3.3mb in oil and oil products on the week, relative to the DOE expectation for a build of 0.7mb.

Despite the sharp drawdown, the price of crude oil sold off with WTI price back below its 50% retracement of the move up from the April 12 low (at $101.07), and the 200-hour moving average currently at $100.97.

The price also cracked below the $100 level but abruptly stopped at the $99.88 level before rebounding into the settlement.

The WTI June contract currently trades near the middle of the 100-hour moving average at $104.66, while the rising 200-hour moving average is below at $100.97 (which is near the 50% midpoint at $101.07). The good news for the bulls is that the price decline has failed to sustain momentum below the 50% and 200-hour moving average.
