Crude Oil Outlook: Pressure Mounts as 2025 Lows Come Into ViewCrude oil prices are tracing another plunge back to yearly lows amid mounting oversupply, weak demand, and tariff concerns. New 2025 lows may be reached in the short-term horizon, aligning with the lower boundaries of a 3-year down trending channel
From a weekly time frame perspective, crude oil is facing the lower border of a three-year descending channel extending from the 2022 highs. The $55 support currently holds as the 2025 low, but a clean break below it could extend losses toward the $49 zone, aligning with the channel’s bottom boundary — a potential area of support. If this level fails, a deeper selloff could extend toward the $37 region.
On the upside, should prices recover above the $58 mark, a bullish rebound may extend toward $60, $63, and $66, respectively. However, for a sustainable bullish outlook on crude, a breakout above both the three-year downtrend and the $70 resistance is required.
Looking closely at the daily RSI, it is nearing oversold levels last seen in April 2025, suggesting that downside momentum could be approaching exhaustion.
In line with the recent movements of U.S. indices, will we see another dip-and-rebound scenario on crude oil — not identical, but perhaps reminiscent of April 2025?

WTI crude oil Wave Analysis – 17 October 2025
- WTI crude oil reversed from strong support level 56.00
- Likely to rise to resistance level 58.00
WTI crude oil recently reversed from the support area between the strong support level 56.00 (which reversed the price in April and May, as can be seen below) and the lower daily Bollinger Band.
This support area was further strengthened by the support trendline of the daily down channel from August.
Given the strength of the support level 56.00 and the oversold daily Stochastic, WTI crude oil can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 58.00.
Oil’s Bottom Is on Its Last Breath — A Major Rally Is ImminentPrevious analysis:
Update is on the chart above 👆
The downside we were hunting looks near completion; in time terms, the correction also appears done.
Wave structure points to the end of wave 2 and the start of a powerful wave 3 up. Failed downside breaks and liquidity sweeps of recent lows back this view.
Confluence: demand retest, deep fib retrace (around 78–88%), and weakening seller momentum at the latest lows.
Roadmap: once this phase completes, I’m looking for an impulse toward $110—with momentum building as price reclaims 65 and then 81.
Risk: even if this setup gets stopped, I’ll keep looking for long entries—trend context and timing still favor upside continuation.
Macro angle: a major oil spike is rarely just a chart pattern—it’s a stress signal. What crisis is this foreshadowing? Middle East? Or something broader and global on supply/demand?
If this resonates, save & follow for the next updates. (Not financial advice.)
USOIL: Waiting for a liquidity sweep on the Daily timeframeIn my previous analyses on USOIL, including the fundamental outlook, price has been trending lower within a narrow channel between $70 and $50.

WTI Crude Oil
As shown in my previous analysis (pinned below this post), we shorted oil from the range high.
Now price has reached the range low, where two key buy levels are marked on the chart ✅.
🔹 If these levels break, the opposite scenario still stands.
🔹 We’re not in OPEC, we don’t make political or war decisions, and we don’t give orders to the market.
🔹 We are traders, simply trying to profit from opportunities.
⚡️ Remember: being biased toward your analysis = blowing up your account and losing confidence.

Time to Fill Up Those Tanks — WTI Reversal in PlayTime to Fill Up Those Tanks — USOIL Reversal in Play 🛢️📈
Everyone’s watching tech, AI, Bitcoin, and gold.
But let’s be real: none of that moves without oil.
We all need black energy — whether you call it crude, petroleum, or the global bloodstream of industry. And today, we’re looking at a setup that says:
“It might be time to fill those tanks — literally and financially.”
🔄 From Short to Long — Here's Why
🧠 Back in Sept 2023, I was publicly SHORT from $93 — “Why 88 is OK for Saudi Arabia” . Clean fade.
But now? We’ve hit my 3-touch support zone at ~$57 — and the structure screams reversal.
📌 1… 2… and now 3.
• Triple bottom territory
• RSI divergence
• Crude sentiment at peak despair
• Geopolitical fog + supply cut whispers
This is the part of the cycle where crude likes to rip when nobody’s looking.
🔍 Technical Breakdown
• 🟩 Demand base: $56–57 zone (strong 3-touch support)**
• 🎯 Target: $79.35 (next major resistance zone)**
• 🛑 Invalidation below $54.26 = abort the trade idea
If the reversal starts here, I expect a rally into Q1 2026 — possibly exaggerated by global supply dynamics.
🌍 Macro Lens
• OPEC still tight
• U.S. SPR not refilled
• Geopolitics = foggy at best
• Seasonal energy demand rising
• Biden vs Trump = policy shake-up incoming
Forget narratives — crude is telling its own story.
💡 Thought of the Day 💡
Everything we build, move, ship, and mine — starts with oil.
It’s not going away. It’s just waiting to be priced correctly again.
You may love AI, but it still runs on diesel in the real world.

Hellena | Oil (4H): SHORT to support area of 56-57.Colleagues, price is actively moving in a downward direction and I believe the move is not yet complete.
Earlier I saw this move as a big correction, but now the structure is more of an impulsive one. This means that the price is moving in the wave “3” of the higher order (Red), which should be completed soon.
For this to happen, the price needs to complete the correction in the wave “4” of medium order and then update the low, reaching the support area of 56-57.
The extension of wave “3” is possible - then the price will reach the target without correction.
Fundamental context
Global oil inventories are forecast to rise through 2025, putting downward pressure on prices despite efforts by some producers to restrain output.
OPEC+ has been increasing production again, which adds to the supply burden.
Meanwhile, demand forecasts have been trimmed amid softer economic growth indicators in key consuming regions.
Major banks have lowered long-term price expectations for crude — the balance is tilting toward a more bearish outlook.

USOIL Struggles to Hold Gains, Bearish Trend Intact
Current market sentiment is bearish.
USOIL is struggling to hold above resistance and leaning towards support.
USOIL is trading at $63.76, below the mid-Bollinger band → showing weak momentum.
Price failed to hold above $66–68 resistance zone and is now trending lower.
Price is leaning towards the lower band, suggesting bearish continuation risk.
WTI Crude Nears Yearly LowsOver the past three trading sessions, WTI crude has fallen by more than 3.5%, as bearish sentiment has regained control of the market. Uncertainty over global oil demand has heightened investor caution, particularly amid the escalation of trade tensions between the United States and China, which has reignited fears of a slowdown in global trade. This scenario could directly impact the consumption of energy products such as oil, leading to a further decline in demand in the short term. As this atmosphere of concern persists, selling pressure is likely to continue strengthening in the coming sessions.
Strong Bearish Bias
Persistent selling pressure has reinforced the downward trendline that has remained in place throughout 2025, with no significant bullish corrections indicating a potential structural shift in market strength in the short term. As a result, the bearish bias continues to dominate, consolidating the market’s downward trajectory. As the price approaches key support levels, it will be crucial to determine whether current selling pressure remains a decisive force in upcoming price movements.
RSI
The RSI line continues to fall below the neutral 50 level, signaling that bearish momentum remains dominant on average over the past 14 sessions. However, it’s worth noting that the price is approaching a key support area, while the RSI nears the 30 level, considered the oversold zone. This could suggest a potential imbalance in market forces and open the door to short-term technical rebounds in the sessions ahead.
MACD
The MACD histogram remains below the neutral line (0), confirming that the short-term moving averages continue to show bearish momentum. If this pattern persists, it could result in stronger selling pressure extending into the medium term.
Key Levels to Watch:
$66 – Major Resistance: Aligns with the 200-period moving average. A bullish move reaching this level could trigger a temporary buying bias and challenge the prevailing downtrend line.
$62 – Near-Term Resistance: Corresponds to the 50-period moving average. If the price stabilizes around this area, it could lead to a neutral sentiment and a period of sideways consolidation in the short term.
$57 – Critical Support: Represents the lowest price levels of the year for WTI. A break below this level could intensify bearish pressure, although it may also serve as a support barrier, allowing for short-term technical corrections to the upside.

Crude Oil Approaches End of Elliott Wave PatternAbove, is the video review for Crude Oil.
Taking a look at the longer perspective, a multi-year ending diagonal pattern is nearing its end.
The weekly chart for TVC:USOIL suggests the decline is wave 5 of a 5-wave diagonal. The 61% Fibonacci retracement level sits near $49. We're anticipating a bullish reversal between current prices and $49 to carry up to new all-time highs over the coming years.
Looking at a clusters of wave relationships and market geometry, I'd like to see Crude Oil reach the yellow box and punch new lows, but it doesn't have to.
If prices fall further, then the 61% Fib level at $49 may provide support.
WTI to $55 amid excess supply concerns?There was some relief at the start of the week for oil prices as traders reacted to the weekend news of de-escalation in the trade war between the US and China and figured that a potential extension of the tariff truce would be net positive for the demand outlook. However, the recovery stalled as WTI prices couldn’t break above $60 per barrel and have since turned flat on the week. The bearish trend thus remains intact for oil. Here, investors are concerned about the excess supply of the stuff hitting the markets, as the OPEC+ is gradually releasing some withheld oil supplies to win back market share. The group’s plan is to increase production by a total of 1.65 million barrels per day by the end of 2025. It has already increased output by 137K bpd from October. Against a backdrop of increasing supplies, it looks like WTI is heading towards the April lows of around $55.00 again.

WTI Crude Oil range trading support at 5747The WTI Crude Oil is currently trading with a bearish bias, aligned with the broader downward trend. Recent price action shows a retest of the longer term support, suggesting a temporary relief rally within the downtrend.
Key resistance is located at 6030, a prior consolidation zone. This level will be critical in determining the next directional move.
A bearish rejection from 6030 could confirm the resumption of the downtrend, targeting the next support levels at 5747, followed by 5677 and 5606 over a longer timeframe.
Conversely, a decisive breakout and daily close above 6030 would invalidate the current bearish setup, shifting sentiment to bullish and potentially triggering a move towards 6073, then 6170.
Conclusion:
The short-term outlook remains bearish unless the WTI Crude price breaks and holds above 6030. Traders should watch for price action signals around this key level to confirm direction. A rejection favours fresh downside continuation, while a breakout signals a potential trend reversal or deeper correction.

Crude Oil: Mainly Expected to Oscillate DownwardCrude oil has been in a continuous downward trend recently. Both the daily chart movement and the moving average system show a downward divergence pattern, and a new descending channel has been officially formed.
In terms of operation, we need to continue to follow the bearish trend. Today, we can take the opportunity of a rebound at the 58 level to set up short positions.
Special attention should be paid to the fact that crude oil is about to enter the contract delivery period. We need to focus on whether the delivery situation will disrupt the current trend. From the perspective of the current fundamentals and news, the long and short factors are clearly one-sided, and the overall situation still mainly depresses crude oil prices.
Sell 58.8 TP 58 - 55 SL 60.2

Oil stays pressured by a looming OPEC+ hike and US–China strainsOil stays pressured by a looming OPEC+ hike and U.S.–China strains
Fundamental Analysis
1. Oil prices remain under pressure from an upcoming OPEC+ production increase next month, even though they paused their decline over the past two days on news that India may stop buying Russian crude.
2. U.S.–China trade tension, especially tariffs threats, export restrictions, and port charges on both sides are likely weighing on global demand.
3. India has not confirmed a halt to purchases yet, but reports say some refiners may reduce imports of Russian oil.
4. Markets are awaiting EIA data, which could indicate the price direction, after the API reported a large build in crude inventories and gasoline, while distillates fell.
Technical Analysis
5. USOIL keep falling, breaking below the previous low. Price move below diverging bearish EMAs, signaling strengthening bearish momentum, signalling for further declines.
6. If USOIL breaks below the previous low at 58.00, it could test the lowest level in four and a half years at 55.00 and potentially break lower.
7. However, price could first rebound to retest the 60.00 area before resuming the longer-term downtrend.
