WTI crude oil was at $101 on 2026-03-30.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
What would count as true or false
The test is the price of WTI crude (the front-month NYMEX futures contract, or WTI spot) on 2026-03-30, ideally near the time Cramer spoke. True: WTI traded at about $101, meaning at some point in that day's session it was in roughly the $100.00–$102.00 range, or it settled there. Mostly true: the day's trading range or settlement came within $3 of $101 ($98–$104) but never reached $100–$102. Mostly false: WTI was well away from $101 but still in the broad area (within about $10, roughly $91–$111 or the equivalent), so the claim exaggerates or understates the level. False: WTI was more than about $10 away from $101 throughout that day.

Reasoning
A Bloomberg wire story dated 2026-03-30 reports that WTI futures settled at $102.88 a barrel (E1). A same-day market report says WTI rose from about $92, briefly broke into the $102–103 range, and closed around $101.30 (E2, E3). The two sources give different closing figures. Even so, both show WTI trading through the $100–$102 band that day, which meets the "true" test in the criteria.
