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.

USOIL: Go long on pullbacksGeopolitical risks have dominated short-term market sentiment for crude oil. Investors' concerns about the supply side have overshadowed negative factors on the demand side, driving oil prices to rise consecutively. However, the weak global economy has dimmed the long-term demand outlook, limiting the extent of oil price increases, resulting in relatively complicated overall market sentiment.
From a technical indicator perspective, momentum indicators are showing positive signals, and the MACD is trending upward. This indicates that the bullish bias is strengthening, but a fully established uptrend has not yet formed.
Overall, technical indicators point to a certain bullish tendency, though it is also necessary to monitor the price performance at key resistance levels.
In the short term, focus on the resistance range of 63.5–64.5 on the upside and the support range of 60–61 on the downside. For intraday operations, the main strategy is to go long on pullbacks, with short positions on rebounds as a supplementary approach.

Where Does the Short-Term Confidence for Going Long Come From?Geopolitical Conflicts "Continue to Drive Momentum" – Supply Worries Persist
The U.S. has just imposed sanctions on two major Russian oil giants, which account for 50% of Russia’s crude oil exports. This could mean a daily reduction of 1.5 million barrels in global supply, and the market is worried about "insufficient oil". A prime example: when Ukrainian forces attacked Russian refineries earlier, daily exports dropped by 1 million barrels, and oil prices rose 2% the same day. Now, such sanctions are still escalating, which will firmly support oil prices in the short term and prevent a sharp decline.
Demand Data Offers "Genuine" Positives – Strong Floor Support
U.S. crude oil inventories have decreased by 960,000 barrels, and refinery utilization rate has risen to 88.6% – this clearly shows "more oil is being consumed than produced", so the current price increase is not unfounded. Meanwhile, China’s refinery utilization rate has also climbed from 86% to 88%, and there is a requirement to ensure refined oil supply in the fourth quarter. This means demand for crude oil will only increase, not decrease, adding a "safety cushion" for long positions. Even if there is a short-term pullback, the decline will be very limited.

Can WTI’s 8% Rally Hold After Trump-Putin Summit Collapse?WTI just staged its biggest two-day rally since June, as hopes for a Trump-Putin summit were dashed, leading to new US sanctions on Russian oil exports.
Here’s what’s fuelling the move and what traders should watch next:
- US sanctions on Russia’s top oil producers after failed Budapest summit trigger supply fears and spike prices
- Trump escalates rhetoric to maintain leverage as Zelensky signs military deals with Sweden, raising geopolitical stakes
- WTI reclaims key $61 resistance, with daily RSI momentum signalling room to run and a possible cup & handle breakout toward $68
- Supply glitch fears (India, OPEC’s slow reaction) and technicals all support continued upside if the current environment holds
Watch for buy the dip signals, respect $61 support, and target the $65–68 channel top if current drivers persist.
Stay tuned!

Today's crude oil trading strategyDon't be intimidated by "mid-term supply pressure", as the risks are manageable when going long.
1. Geopolitical Conflicts "Keep Adding Fuel" – Supply Worries Persist
The U.S. has just escalated sanctions on Russia and imposed restrictions on Venezuela’s crude oil exports, which directly cuts off part of the global supply. For context: When Ukrainian forces attacked Russian ports earlier, Russia’s daily crude exports dropped by 2 million barrels, and oil prices jumped 3% in a single day. Now, sanctions like these will only make the market more anxious about "insufficient oil supply," which will keep prices supported in the short term.
2. Inventory Data Offers "Genuine" Positives – Demand Provides a Safety Net
U.S. crude oil inventories have fallen for two consecutive weeks, with a further drop of 1.8 million barrels in the latest week. This clearly shows "more oil is being used than produced" – the current price gains aren’t unfounded. Additionally, China’s refinery utilization rate has risen from 86% to 88%, and there’s a requirement to ensure refined oil supply in the fourth quarter. This means demand for crude oil will only increase, adding an extra "safety cushion" for long positions.

USOIL – Short Setup Forming at 4H Supply ZoneAfter a strong bullish recovery from the $56.00 demand zone, WTI Crude Oil has now reached a key 4H supply area (61.80–62.60).
This zone aligns with previous structural resistance and an unmitigated imbalance, making it a potential reversal point.
The recent impulsive rally could now face profit-taking or seller re-entry, especially after such a sharp single-leg move.
📉 Technical Breakdown
Supply Zone: 61.80–62.60, aligning with a previous major breakdown area.
Liquidity Context: Price may have swept buy-side liquidity above short-term highs to fill the imbalance and tap into supply.
Momentum Shift: Bullish momentum appears to be slowing; watch for bearish rejection candles or break of minor structure to confirm entry.
Market Structure: The overall 4H structure remains bearish, so this move could be a retracement leg within a broader downtrend.
💡 Trade Plan
Entry Zone: 61.80 – 62.50 (inside 4H supply area)
Stop-Loss: Above 62.60 (structure invalidation)
Take-Profit Targets:
🎯 TP1: 59.00 (intraday support)
🎯 TP2: 56.00 (major demand zone)
🧠 Bias & Outlook
Bearish short-term, expecting rejection from 4H supply and potential continuation to the downside.
A clean break and close above 62.60 would invalidate this setup and suggest further bullish continuation.
🧩 Summary
WTI is testing a high-probability supply zone after an extended bullish impulse.
Signs of exhaustion and liquidity sweep hint at a potential short opportunity targeting 59.00–56.00.
Waiting for confirmation before entry provides the safest positioning.

Oil: Key Fibonacci Zone to watch forPrice has been in a clear downtrend, with sellers firmly in control, driving a series of lower lows and lower highs. However, after a strong bearish leg, momentum began to slow, candles started showing long wicks and smaller bodies, signaling that selling pressure might be fading.
If price continues upward, the $61.50 region becomes a crucial zone. A strong rejection from there would confirm that sellers are reloading for another push down.
In short, this is a Fibonacci retracement move within a broader downtrend.
Crude oil shows an optimistic upward trend📈The situation of crude oil is relatively optimistic, showing an upward trend, mainly affected by geopolitics and supply-demand relationships.
💡Geopolitical factors:
The United States has imposed sanctions on Russian oil companies, and the European Union's sanctions against Russia are also continuing. At the same time, the news that the United States intends to take military action against Venezuela has fermented, triggering market concerns about disruptions in crude oil supply and boosting oil prices.
💡Supply-demand factors:
On the one hand, OPEC announced at a new round of meetings that it would continue to increase production by 137,000 barrels, but the scale of production increase is relatively small, and the production increase capacity of some oil-producing countries is limited, which alleviates the pressure of oversupply. On the other hand, as of October 17th, the EIA crude oil inventory data decreased by 960,000 barrels, the gasoline inventory decreased by 21.05 million barrels per day, and the distillate oil inventory decreased by 1.48 million barrels per day. The decrease in inventory has provided some support for oil prices. However, the weakness of the global economy has made the long-term demand outlook bleak, which has suppressed the increase in oil prices to a certain extent.
💡Technical analysis:
From the daily line level, the daily K-line shows a trend of breaking below the previous low point and then recovering, and the weekly K-line forms a rising sun pattern, indicating that there is a possibility of continued rebound in prices in the short term. At the same time, the medium-term indicator MACD supports an upward trend, also indicating that the short-term trend is upward.

USOIL WTIthe current price of WTI crude oil (USOIL) stands around $62.050 to $62.31 per barrel, reflecting a recent rise of about 4.97% compared to previous days. The market has experienced volatility driven by geopolitical tensions and US sanctions on major Russian oil companies, which impact global supply dynamics.
Key Factors Affecting USOIL and Oil Trade Policies
Geopolitical Influences and Sanctions:
US sanctions on Russian oil firms such as Rosneft and Lukoil continue to tighten global supply access, especially affecting supply to large importers like China and India. These sanctions heighten supply-side risks and contribute to price volatility.
US Oil Production and Domestic Policies:
The US remains one of the top global oil producers, with policies encouraging increased output (“drill, baby, drill” style) to ensure energy security and moderate prices domestically while using energy exports as geopolitical leverage.
Trade Agreements and Tariffs:
Trade discussions, such as US-India negotiations, aim to reduce tariffs and expand energy trade, influencing crude demand and pricing. Tariffs and trade restrictions remain important policy tools that may alter trade flows and market access.
OPEC and IEA Production Forecasts:
Global supply forecasts have been revised upward, with expectations of growth to 106-108 million barrels per day by 2026. OPEC production strategies continue to influence market balance and price direction.
Market Volatility and Demand Outlook:
Economic uncertainties, inflation concerns, and shifts toward renewable energy impact demand projections. Demand growth for 2025-2026 has seen downward revisions amid these mixed signals.
Overall, USOIL prices and global oil trade in 2025 are shaped by a complex interplay of geopolitical sanctions, domestic production policies, trade agreements, and evolving market demand, creating significant price volatility and trade flow shifts.

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.
USOIL : Full analysisHello friends
Well, considering the sharp decline we had, the price has entered a descending channel and is slowly going down in this channel.
Now the price has reached a critical point, namely the bottom of the channel.
We need to see if buyers will support the price at the bottom of the channel like the previous two times or not?
If we do not see support from buyers and the channel is broken, we can expect lower prices.
56.30 and 53 dollars respectively.
But we will most likely see buyers' support in this area and the price could even reach the channel ceiling.
