WTI Oil: $66 Back on the Cards as Sanctions BiteWTI crude extends its rally this morning after fresh U.S. sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil sparked renewed supply concerns. The EU’s latest package added to the bullish momentum, sending prices sharply off the $56–57 demand zone. Technically, the point of control (POC) from the recent volume profile aligns perfectly with the $65.50–66.00 resistance, suggesting this is where price may stall or consolidate before deciding the next leg. Momentum remains strong, volume is rising, and bulls are clearly in control. As long as WTI holds above $60, a push into $66 looks likely — but expect sellers to reappear at that POC zone.cards — especially as the market reprices geopolitical risk and short-term supply tightness. Key Levels: Support: $57.00 / $60.00 Resistance: $62.50 / $65.50–66.00 Next target: $66.00

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. Crude Oil Trading Strategy for Today usoil @buy61.00-61.50 tp:62-62.5 sl:59.5

XTI/USD : Oil Prices Rise Following Trump’s Sanctions DecisionXTI/USD Chart Analysis: Oil Prices Rise Following Trump’s Sanctions Decision According to the XTI/USD chart, WTI crude is now trading above the key psychological level of $60, marking a sharp rebound of over 3% from October’s lows. The surge came after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sanctions against major Russian oil producers Rosneft and Lukoil, which together account for more than 5 million barrels of oil per day. The move is expected to reduce global oil supply; however, media outlets point out that: → there is no certainty that China and India will refrain from purchasing Russian crude; → previous sanctions introduced under the Biden administration — targeting companies such as Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegaz — had little impact on Russian oil exports. What could happen next? Technical Analysis of the XTI/USD Chart On 20 October, we noted that two descending channels had formed: → Red channel – a long-term pattern that developed following the Middle East escalation in June; → Purple channel – indicating accelerated downside pressure driven by rising OPEC+ output and hopes for a U.S.–China trade accord. Our earlier assumption that the market was oversold and that the Falling Wedge pattern might trigger a bullish reversal proved correct (as shown by the arrow). Following the formation of an inverted head and shoulders pattern, oil prices climbed towards the median line of the purple channel. At this stage, consolidation appears the most likely scenario, as supply and demand may stabilise around the channel’s median. Much will depend on statements from the White House, since higher oil prices could threaten U.S. inflation objectives. However, if bullish momentum persists, WTI may continue to rise towards the next resistance area, defined by: → the upper boundary of the purple channel; → the 8–9 October highs, where a false breakout similar to the bear trap seen on 26 September cannot be ruled out.

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. Written by the FP Markets Research Team

Crude oil trading strategy for today. Hope it is helpful to youWhy Is the $60.13 Level Suitable for a Long Position in Crude Oil?​ Currently, crude oil prices have stabilized above the $60 mark. Although there are still concerns about "excess supply" in the market, from the perspective of short-term opportunities, two key signals support our attempt to take a long position—we should not be constrained by the previous "weak market" mindset:​ 1. Escalating Risks of Geopolitical Conflicts​ Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russia's oil facilities. Recently, it has knocked out two large Russian oil refineries, pushing Russia's oil refining volume to a two-year low. If key oil pipelines are affected in the future, or if the conflict between Israel and Lebanon in the Middle East expands to disrupt transportation in the Persian Gulf, the market will immediately worry about "insufficient oil supply," and oil prices are likely to surge rapidly. For reference, after Israel's air strike on Iranian facilities in June, oil prices soared by 6.9% in a single day—such sudden opportunities are worth seizing.​ 2. OPEC+ Lacks Momentum for Further Production Increases​ Although OPEC+ plans to increase production by 137,000 barrels per month from October to November, most oil-producing countries have no spare production capacity left. Back in May, the actual production increase only reached 45% of the planned amount. Recently, there have been reports that OPEC+ is discussing "suspending subsequent production increases" internally. If it clearly announces the suspension of production increases (or even resumes production cuts) at its meeting, the pressure from excess supply will be significantly relieved, and oil prices will gain stronger momentum to rise.

Today's crude oil strategy, hoping to be helpful to you.Although the current broader context of the international crude oil market is "excess supply and weak demand", from the perspective of short-term and potential opportunities, there are three key points that support us to attempt a long position. We should not be deterred by the broader "weak market" trend: Potential "Flashpoints" in Geopolitical Conflicts Ukraine has not stopped using drones to attack Russia's oil facilities, and Russia's oil refining volume has now hit its lowest level in over two years. If key pipelines are attacked next, or if conflicts between Israel and Qatar in the Middle East escalate further, affecting crude oil transportation, the market will definitely rush to buy oil out of panic. In this case, oil prices will most likely surge suddenly. For example, back in June, when Israel launched an air strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, oil prices rose by 6.9% in a single day. We must seize such opportunities. Possible "Hitches" in OPEC+ Production Increase Although OPEC+ plans to increase supply by an additional 137,000 barrels per month in October and November, many oil-producing countries actually have little extra oil to produce. As early as May, the actual production increase was more than half lower than the planned amount. If OPEC+ announces "no more production increases" in subsequent meetings, or even resumes production cuts, the pressure from excess supply will be reduced significantly, and oil prices will naturally be able to hold steady or even rise.

WTI OIL Strong long-term rebound incoming.Over a month ago (September 17, see chart below), we gave a strong Sell Signal on WTI Oil (USOIL) as the price was again rejected on its 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) and was headed towards the inner Higher Lows trend-line, easily hitting our $59.50 Target in the process: Yet again we consult the more reliable long-term time-frames, now making a bullish call as the price is already rebounding this week on the Higher Lows. Given also the identical 1W RSI pattern with 2023, we expect a bounce towards at least the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level at $69.50, same as the December 2023 - March 2024 rally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

WTI Crude oversold bounce capped at 6030 resistanceThe 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.

USOIL fluctuates higher💡The situation for USOIL today is relatively optimistic, showing a fluctuating and moderately strong trend. Here is the detailed analysis: 📈Price Trend: As of midday in the Asian session on October 22, WTI crude oil prices have edged higher in the short term, trading around $58.1, up from the previous day's closing price. WTI crude closed 1.14% higher at $57.962 the previous day. ♦Influencing Factors: Supply Side: The U.S. Department of Energy announced a tender to purchase 1 million barrels of crude oil to replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This news boosted sentiment in the energy sector and provided support for oil prices. ♦Demand Side: API data showed a decline in U.S. inventory levels last week, which improved market sentiment toward demand and also supported higher oil prices. ♦Macroeconomy: Expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut continue to rise, with a 98.9% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut in October. Capital has been flowing back into risk assets, providing some impetus to crude oil prices. ♦Geopolitics: Europe and Ukraine have drafted a 12-point ceasefire plan. Expectations of eased geopolitical tensions temporarily weakened safe-haven demand, indirectly supporting a stronger U.S. dollar and thus exerting some pressure on oil prices. However, factors such as the U.S. oil purchase news and the drop in API crude inventories have provided more significant support for oil prices. ♦Technical Analysis: Short-term moving averages show signs of flattening, indicating that the crude oil price trend may be stabilizing. Oil prices are inclined to fluctuate with moderate strength in the short term today. The short-term resistance level above is around 59.0-60.0, while the short-term support level below is around 56.0-55.0. 💎Trading Strategy: Sell 58.00 SL 58.60 TP 57.00 Buy 57.5 SL 56.8 TP 58.5 Daily-updated accurate signals are at your disposal. If you run into any problems while trading, these signals serve as a reliable reference—don’t hesitate to use them! I truly hope they bring you significant assistance
