Crude Oil Trading Strategy for Next WeekShort-term demand "suddenly surges", creating space for the rebound
Unlike previous concerns about geo-political sanctions, the core support for this short-term bullish move is the "unexpected surge in demand". Two new variables directly change the short-term supply and demand balance:
Seasonal resumption of refineries "grabbing oil": As the maintenance period for refineries in the Northern Hemisphere comes to an end, refineries in Europe, the United States, and China have resumed operations simultaneously - the operating rate of European refineries has jumped from 78% to 85% (the highest in 3 months), and the production capacity that was halted due to hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico has been fully restored (an additional 1.2 million barrels of processing capacity per day), and the operating rate of local refineries in Shandong, China has also risen from 65% to 72%. These refineries are rushing to stockpile raw materials before winter, and the spot purchase volume has increased by 30% month-on-month recently, directly pushing up the prices of near-month crude oil contracts, creating a "strong spot market, followed by a rise in futures" pattern.
Policy intervention to stabilize "low-price areas": The US Department of Energy announced last week that it will launch "small-scale replenishment" within the range of $60 - $62 (planning to repurchase 5 million barrels of crude oil to replenish strategic reserves), this is the first explicit replenishment signal after releasing reserves in 2022. The market knows that "there will be official buying to support when the price drops to $60", so there will be no deep decline in the short term; at the same time, the EU is responding to the winter energy shortage, requiring member states to complete 90% of natural gas inventory filling by November, and some countries (such as Germany) have begun to use crude oil instead of natural gas for power generation, adding an additional daily demand of 200,000 barrels of crude oil.

nalysis of crude oil trend next week.The current market exhibits the feature of "strong short-term support but medium-term pressure". The bullish opportunities are driven by three certainties:
The escalation of geopolitical supply risks: The 19th round of EU sanctions against Russia is about to be implemented, which will for the first time block the "third-country bypass" channel for Russian energy exports. Coupled with the previous sanctions by the US and the UK on Rosneft and Lukoil (accounting for 50% of Russia's exports), buyers such as India have turned to the Middle East for oil. The spot premium has risen to $2.5 per barrel, and the short-term supply gap is expected to persist.
Inventory and demand support: US EIA inventories have continuously declined beyond expectations (by 960,000 barrels), with core Cushing inventories also dropping by 770,000 barrels. Refinery utilization rates have risen to 88.6% (93.7% in the US East, a two-year high), and the rebound in refined oil product demand has led to a significant drop in gasoline and distillate inventories, indicating stronger-than-expected consumption resilience.
Technical rebound signals: WTI crude oil has formed a short-term support at the $60.8 - $61.5 range. The RSI indicator has entered a slightly oversold area, and a "hammer line" reversal pattern has emerged in the 15-minute cycle. Coupled with the API inventory decline of 2.98 million barrels, the rebound momentum has begun to accumulate.

Analysis of crude oil trend next week.Short-term positive factors: "Effective Cycle" and "Support Strength"
The actual impact of Russian sanctions: Supply gap could reach 1.5 million barrels per day
The new sanctions imposed by the US and Europe on October 22 directly cover the overseas settlement accounts of Russian oil companies (Rosneft) and Lukoil. These two companies collectively control 50% of Russia's crude oil exports (approximately 3 million barrels per day). Currently, major buyers such as India and Turkey have suspended the purchase of crude oil from these two companies and turned to the Middle East market, resulting in the spot premium in the Middle East rising from $1.2 per barrel to $2.5 per barrel. However, it should be noted: Russia can transfer part of its exports to China and Iran through "non-dollar settlement", and the actual supply gap may shrink to 100-120 million barrels per day. The positive support is likely to last for 1-2 weeks, after which the market will gradually adapt to the new supply pattern.
"Realistic Support" of Inventory and Refinery Data
According to the US EIA data, as of October 18 of the current week, crude oil inventories decreased by 960,000 barrels (expected to decrease by 500,000 barrels), and the refinery utilization rate rose from 86.8% to 88.6%, reaching a 3-month high. This is due to the end of the seasonal maintenance of US refineries (the maintenance rate in September was 15%, and it dropped to 8% in October), combined with the start of heating oil demand in the Northern Hemisphere (heating oil inventories in October decreased by 8% year-on-year), short-term crude oil purchase demand will remain at a high level, and it can support prices at least until mid-November.

Analysis of crude oil trend next week.I. Core fundamentals: The contradictory pattern of "short-term geo-political support and long-term oversupply pressure"
(1) Short-term support: Geopolitical sanctions trigger supply concerns (valid for 1-2 weeks)
The implementation of sanctions directly disrupts supply: On October 22, the United States and Europe simultaneously upgraded sanctions against Russia, including including Rosneft and Lukoil, which together account for 50% of Russia's crude oil exports. After the news was announced, major buyers such as India have postponed purchasing Russian oil and instead rushed to buy Middle Eastern crude oil, directly pushing the oil price up by 5% on October 24, from $58.5 to $61.76. The resumption of refinery operations brings a phased increase in demand: The seasonal maintenance of global refineries is coming to an end, and the resumption wave leads to an increase in crude oil purchases, coupled with the gradual start-up of heating oil demand in the Northern Hemisphere, creating a "small peak" in the short-term demand side, which supports the spot price.
(2) Medium- and long-term suppression: Oversupply is inevitable (suppressing force lasts for 3-6 months)
The OPEC+ production increase trend is irreversible: Since April 2025, when it shifted to the "increase production to secure market share" strategy, OPEC+ has cumulatively increased production by nearly 2.5 million barrels per day, and will continue to increase production by 137,000 barrels per day in November, with an additional daily supply of over 430,000 barrels in the fourth quarter. More importantly, Saudi Arabia's exports remain stable at 9 million barrels per day, and Iraq at 4 million barrels per day. The supply from the Middle East remains abundant, coupled with the expansion of production capacity in non-OPEC+ countries, the oversupply pressure further intensifies.
Weak demand + saturated inventory double blow: The IEA has continuously lowered its demand expectations for several consecutive months. It is expected that in 2026, global oversupply will reach 4 million barrels per day (accounting for 4% of global demand), and at the same time, the offshore storage volume has approached the level of the 2020 pandemic, while onshore inventories are approaching saturation. The near and far-month contracts of WTI crude oil in New York have experienced a 5-month-long first-time futures premium, which is the direct reaction of the market to the oversupply.

Analysis of Oil Prices Trend Next WeekI. First, understand: The "core issue" of oil prices next week, both rising and falling, have reasons for their movements.
Currently, the oil price stands at 61.41. It just experienced a 5% surge on Thursday, but the increase was "unsteady". The essence is that "short-term positive factors are supporting it, while long-term negative factors are pressing on it". Next week, it will be influenced by three key points:
1.Short-term positive factors: Geopolitical sanctions "just started", which can support the price.
The EU and the United States just issued new sanctions against Russia last week, directly targeting the energy industry. The two major Russian oil giants account for 50% of exports. The market is afraid of supply disruption, just like when the sanctions were implemented before, Indian buyers immediately suspended their purchases of Russian oil and turned to buy oil from the Middle East, and the spot price rose by 3% on the same day. In addition, US inventories have dropped by 960,000 barrels, and refinery operating rates have risen to 88.6%, indicating that "oil is used more than it is stored", and there will be no significant decline in the short term.
2.Long-term negative factors: Oil-producing countries "continuously increase production", and when it rises, it must be brought down.
OPEC+ will increase production by 137,000 barrels per day next week. This is the eighth consecutive increase. The cumulative increase is 2.5 million barrels per day, equivalent to the output of an additional small oil-producing country. More troublesome is that institutions predict that supply过剩 will reach 4 million barrels per day next year, equivalent to 4% of global demand. In the long term, oil prices will not rise at all, and may even fall to around 50 US dollars.
3.Market sentiment: "Retail investors are chasing the rise, while institutions are withdrawing their funds", the fluctuations will be significant.
Currently, 82% of traders are buying the rise, it looks very hot, but the long positions of institutions are decreasing - this is like "a group of people rushing forward, while the leader is quietly retreating". Reflected in the price is: when it hits above 62 US dollars, there are sell orders coming down, when it drops to 61, there are buy orders coming in, next week it is likely to swing back and forth between 60-63, it will not rise or fall in a single direction.

US OIL SUPPORT, RESISTANCE & TRENDLINE ANALYSISMy final levels for the last day.
Go "LONG" if it breaks 62.18 and if it also breaks the trendline then can move up till 62.59 and breaking that might lead to 63.01.
Go "SHORT" if it breaks 61.77 along with the trendline leading to 61.35 and if it breaks that then aim for 60.94 and lastly if it breaks that as well by EOD then 60.46 should be our target.
Happy Weekend!!
Oil jumps after new US sanctions on RussiaNew sanctions against Lukoil and Rosneft by the USA pushed oil up recently as traders worried that threatened secondary sanctions on banks working with these companies could disrupt supply to China, India and other importing countries. While this has done much to alleviate recent fears of significant oversupply, the effects in the medium term aren’t clear yet.
$54.75-56 seems to be confirmed as an area of support on the weekly chart with 17-20 October having been the third unsuccessful test. The crossover of the slow stochastic in oversold and clear break above the 20 SMA might normally be strong buying signals but volume doesn’t clearly support the bounce yet.
The 50 SMA from Bands which is price is currently testing looks like an important short-term dynamic resistance. Confirmation of more gains might come from a daily close clearly above $62. Beyond there, the 200 SMA just below $64 is likely to be a strong resistance from which a breakout would probably require a significant uptick in buying volume.
This is my personal opinion, not the opinion of Exness. This is not a recommendation to trade.
US OILD SUPPORT, RESISTANCE & TRENDLINE ANALYSISGo "LONG" if it breaks 61.96 with 62.21 as the target and if it breaks that then plan for 62.59 and if it breaks further then go for 62.90
Go "SHORT" if it breaks 61.59 with 61.23 with the first target and if it breaks that along with the trendline support then plan till 60.86 and if it breaks that as well then further till 60.50 and breaking that also will lead to 59.93
Oil - Expecting Bullish Continuation In The Short TermM15 - Strong bullish momentum.
No opposite signs.
Until the two Fibonacci support zones hold I expect the price to move higher further.

Analysis of crude oil trends. Hope it is helpful to you. "Demand and Sentiment" With crude oil prices currently stabilizing at $61.50, instead of obsessing over "whether supply is excessive," it’s better to focus on three more direct signals supporting a long position. These signals lie in changes in demand and market sentiment, and they are actually more closely aligned with short-term price movements:
1. "Unexpected Recovery" on the Demand Side
Previously, there were widespread concerns that "oil consumption would not pick up," but recent data has sent a reversal signal: Last week, the U.S. refinery utilization rate rose from 85% to 88% (the higher a refinery's operating rate, the more oil it consumes). Moreover, China has just rolled out a "stable growth plan for the petrochemical industry," which requires guaranteed supply of refined oil products in the fourth quarter—this directly drives up demand for crude oil purchases. More crucially, U.S. crude oil inventories unexpectedly decreased by 2.8 million barrels (compared to the original expectation of a 500,000-barrel increase). This is equivalent to "more oil being consumed than produced," and such a demand recovery will directly prop up oil prices.
2. Market Sentiment Shifting from "Bearish" to "Neutral, Then Bullish"
Previously, when oil prices were below $60, 80% of traders were taking short positions (expecting prices to fall). But the situation has changed now: Over the past three days, the volume of funds flowing into long positions has increased by 30%, and even small and medium-sized traders have started following the trend to enter the market. A more obvious sign is that in the past, oil prices would be pushed down by a flood of sell orders once they rose to $59.8, but now there are plenty of buy orders to absorb pressure at $60.50. This shows that the market's view on oil prices has changed—it’s no longer the case that "traders sell as soon as prices rise."
3. Short-Term Funds "Piling In" to Support Prices
The world’s largest crude oil ETF (equivalent to a fund where investors pool money to invest in crude oil) has seen a net inflow of $1.2 billion over the past three days—the largest single-week inflow since the start of this year. Additionally, some short-term funds on Wall Street are also quietly increasing their crude oil holdings. These funds are not entering the market for long-term investments; they are simply betting on a short-term rise in oil prices. Their buying activity will directly push oil prices upward, and at the very least, prevent a sharp short-term drop.

Pullback in Oil a selling opportunity? Oil markets received a boost in recent trading following the announcement of US sanctions on major Russian Oil producers: Rosneft and Lukoil.
Pushing price action above two key resistance levels at US$58.34 (6M) and US$59.46 (3M), WTI Oil is fast closing in on resistance from US$61.22 (1Y). It is worth considering that the recent upside move could simply be a pullback within a market that has been trending lower since the beginning of this year; therefore, sellers may make a show from US$61.22 if tested. Alternatively, a break higher opens the door to a larger area of resistance between US$64.82 and US$62.97 – a zone formed of 1M and 1W levels.
