WTI Crude Oil: Geopolitical Tensions and Technical SignalThe US crude oil benchmark, is trading near $82.00 on Monday. This modest uptick is driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and expectations of increased oil demand during the summer season. Geopolitical Tensions and Market Impact The prospect of a broader conflict in the Middle East, which could threaten crude oil supplies from the region, is fueling the rise in WTI prices. The UN Secretary-General’s statement on Sunday, warning that a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah would be disastrous, has further intensified these concerns. Technical Analysis: Signs of a Possible Retracement Technically, there are signs that WTI might experience a price retracement. The current levels suggest a potential pullback to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement within a bearish channel, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicating overbought conditions. This setup hints at a possible near-term correction before any further upward movement. Outlook In conclusion, while geopolitical tensions and seasonal demand are bolstering WTI crude oil prices, technical indicators suggest a potential retracement. Market participants should remain vigilant, watching for price movements around the 61.8% Fibonacci level and the behavior of the RSI in the coming sessions.

WTI Oil Price Unchanged After OPEC+ MeetingWTI Oil Price Unchanged After OPEC+ Meeting The OPEC+ meeting over the weekend did not have a substantial impact on the price of crude oil. As the chart shows, WTI oil opened today at $76.72 per barrel, while on Friday it closed at $76.57 – indicating that the decision made by oil producers is ambiguous. The bullish argument is that restrictions on oil production to maintain its price will continue. According to Reuters, on Sunday, OPEC+ members agreed to extend the production cuts of 3.66 million barrels per day until the end of 2025. The bearish argument is that eight OPEC+ countries have already signalled plans to gradually phase out voluntary cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day from October 2024 to September 2025. Goldman Sachs analysts overall assessed the results of the meeting as more bearish for the market. "The communication of a gradual unwind reflects a strong desire to bring back production of several members given high spare capacity," they wrote. The WTI crude oil chart shows that the market is breaking the upward trend (shown in blue), which we mentioned in our review on 10 May. Since then, bulls attempted to resume the upward trend, but this only resulted in a false breakout of the psychological level of $80 per barrel on 29 May (indicated by an arrow). Afterwards, bears regained control and sharply pushed the price below the lower boundary of the blue upward channel, making the downward channel (shown in red), which began in April, more relevant. According to the technical analysis of the oil chart: → the price is near the median line of the red channel – a sign of temporary equilibrium between supply and demand; → below the current WTI crude oil price is an important level of $75.75, which provided support back at the end of winter. If the bulls attempt a comeback (which would require fundamental drivers), the upper boundary of the downward channel may resist the price. If the geopolitical situation in the Middle East does not escalate, the bears may continue to exert pressure aiming to break the $75.75 level – which would likely slow inflation and benefit the current U.S. administration ahead of the upcoming presidential elections.

WTI Crude Oil Price Shows Bullish Trend Ahead of OPEC MeetingWTI Crude Oil Price Shows Bullish Trend Ahead of OPEC Meeting As the chart indicates, on Monday, the price of WTI crude oil rose by approximately 1%. Reuters reports that the bullish sentiment is driven by: → the upcoming OPEC+ meeting scheduled for 2 June; → expectations of high fuel demand with the start of the summer driving season and holiday season in the US. Conducting a technical analysis of WTI crude oil on 10 May, we drew an ascending channel in blue and suggested a scenario of continued price growth within this channel. Since then: → the price formed a low on 15 May at the level of 76.35, but quickly recovered from it. Thus, the bears' attempt to break the low of 8 May at the level of 76.68 quickly failed. In other words, there was a false breakout of the 8 May low. → A similar pattern occurred on 24 May – the price dropped below the 15 May low of 76.35, but quickly recovered. Two false bearish breakouts are a bullish sign. And the strong behaviour of WTI crude oil prices on Monday confirms this. Analysing the XTI/USD chart today, it is important to note that: → the price movement in April-May forms a descending channel (shown in red); → this decline since 5 April may be a correction within the larger ascending blue channel; → the price quickly returned to the blue channel, briefly dipping below its lower boundary; → the price is near the upper boundary of the descending channel. Thus, conditions are being created for the end of the corrective movement. The bears' inability to hold the WTI oil price at new lows may be used by the bulls to resume the upward trend. It is also possible that news related to the OPEC+ meeting will contribute to this development. Start trading commodity CFDs with tight spreads.

WTI Oil Price Recovers Quickly From March LowsWTI Oil Price Recovers Quickly From March Lows On May 8, the price of WTI crude oil fell below $77 per barrel for the first time since March 11. But on the morning of May 10, it was above $79 – an increase of almost 3% in less than two days. Several factors contributed to the significant rise in the price of WTI crude oil. According to Reuters, among them: → Increased oil demand from the United States. Data released on Wednesday showed a drop in US crude oil inventories, driven by increased refinery utilisation. → Growing demand from China. Data published on Thursday showed an increase in oil imports. → Ongoing concerns about possible supply disruptions due to escalating conflict in the Middle East. Negotiations to end hostilities between Israel and Hamas failed, and Israel attacked the Palestinian city of Rafah. On April 19, we wrote about the possibility of a bearish breakdown of the ascending channel line, which would be welcomed by the US administration, where the presidential elections are getting closer and closer. Since then, the price of oil has broken down the median line and the support line at $80.70, which may act as resistance in the future. The WTI crude oil chart shows that: → the price is within the ascending channel, which has expanded two times since the last post according to the principle of parallel channels; → the bullish reversal on May 8-9 formed a test of its lower boundary; → the exhaustion of selling pressure was indicated by a bullish divergence on the RSI indicator. If demand from major economies strengthens and the geopolitical environment continues to deteriorate, this could create the conditions for the WTI crude oil price movement within a sustained upward channel.

US Crude Oil Benchmark: Implications of Rising InventoriesThe US crude oil benchmark is currently trading around $79.50 on Friday, marking a continued decline from its recent peak of $88.00. This downward trend is attributed to several factors, including rising crude inventories in the United States and diminishing expectations for interest rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed's decision to maintain interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, despite persistent inflationary pressures, has contributed to market sentiment. The central bank indicated that it will refrain from cutting interest rates until it has greater confidence in the sustained moderation of price increases towards its 2% target. This stance, described as "higher-for-longer," suggests a prolonged period of unchanged rates, potentially leading to reduced demand for oil as economic activity slows. In light of these developments, there is a strategic opportunity to consider buying oil at discounted prices. Two buy limit orders have been placed, anticipating a potential increase in oil prices over the next two months. This expectation is supported by historical patterns and insights from the Cot report, which indicates a decrease short positions of Money Managers. Consequently, there is optimism for a rebound in oil value in the foreseeable future.
