Will oil prices collapse to $60?Is there a chance for oil prices to fall to $60? On Wednesday, WTI crude oil futures continued to rise and settled around $68.3 per barrel. This was the third consecutive day of gains amid growing concerns about supply disruptions caused by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. The Israeli airstrike on Gaza and U.S. President Trump's threat to hold Iran accountable for any Houthi attacks in Yemen have heightened tensions in the region and contributed to the rise in oil prices. One of the main causes of the recent price rise has been an expected increase in demand from China, the world's largest oil importer. This is due to its economic stimulus plans and positive data on the economy. However, the potential rise in prices could be held back by progress in peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, which could lead to increased supply in the global market. In addition, U.S. President Trump is expected to talk with Putin today to try to end the ongoing war between the two countries. Another significant risk factor for oil prices is escalating trade tensions, which is worrying investors about economic growth and energy demand. Currently, oil is not having a good time, with a 5 percent decline in quotations over the past three months. The main cause of this pressure is OPEC+'s announcement to increase production in April. In addition, markets are preparing for the impact of U.S. tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, and possible retaliatory measures by China against the United States. Concerns about a possible global trade war are affecting the energy market. Fears are that this could hurt economic growth and reduce energy demand, leading to an uncertain situation where supply from the OPEC cartel is increasing while demand remains unstable. The news is not very positive as oil production continues to increase. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, such as Russia, known as OPEC+, have decided to increase oil production by 138,000 barrels per day starting in April, a move that marks the first increase since 2022. Although this increase aims to phase out previous production cuts, it has raised concerns about a potential abundance of supply in the market. The 25 percent tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada went into effect at the same time as the 10 percent increase on Chinese goods. In response, Beijing immediately imposed taxes of up to 15% on imports of key U.S. agricultural products. The current situation leads to a widespread and dangerous trade war, which can negatively affect economic growth and the outlook on oil demand. When studying oil, it is also essential to consider the trading currency, which is the dollar. In 2025, I predict that the dollar will continue to strengthen while the Fed keeps interest rates high. This may not be favorable for oil prices. From a technical point of view, the situation on Oil is even worse. The decline is accompanied by above-average volumes, and prices remain consistently below the 200-period moving average. According to my forecast, oil prices are expected to stabilize around $60 per barrel in the coming quarters.

Crude oil---sell near 68.20, target 66.00-65.20Crude oil market analysis: Crude oil has been hovering at the bottom recently. It is necessary to short it at the high suppression position. It is difficult to make a profit by shorting in the middle and chasing. Today's idea is to continue to short it after the rebound. Pay attention to the suppression near 68.00-68.50. Crude oil is basically difficult to change the trend in the short term. Yesterday's crude oil contract delivery was not big. The price of the new contract is basically the same as the old one. Fundamental analysis: The Federal Reserve will maintain the benchmark interest rate at 4.25%-4.50%, which is in line with market expectations. The dot plot shows that it is expected to cut interest rates twice in 2025. The Federal Reserve will begin to slow down the pace of balance sheet reduction on April 1. Operational suggestions: Crude oil---sell near 68.20, target 66.00-65.20

Crude Oil Market Outlook: Long-Term AnalysisTechnical Analysis: A Broader Perspective Crude oil has been trading in a multi-year consolidation range, with prices repeatedly testing both the upper and lower boundaries. Support Levels: Oil is currently trading around $66-$65, which has acted as a key support zone over the past few years. Historically, crude has bounced from this area, making it a significant level to watch for potential accumulation. Resistance Levels: The 100-day and 200-day moving averages sit above the current price, with resistance levels around $75 and $85. These levels need to be reclaimed for a sustained uptrend to develop. Trend Outlook: Over the past two years, crude oil has remained range-bound, consolidating between $65 on the lower end and $85-$90 on the upper end. Given this prolonged pattern, we could be approaching the bottom of this range, setting the stage for another potential cycle higher. A break below $61-$60 would indicate a deeper correction, possibly pushing oil into a longer-term downtrend. Market Momentum Indicators: RSI is near oversold territory, suggesting the market is at a level where a bounce has historically occurred. PPO remains negative, indicating weak momentum, but a shift towards bullish divergence would reinforce a recovery case. Market News & Fundamental Drivers Several macroeconomic and geopolitical developments are shaping crude oil’s outlook: 1. Geopolitical Risks & OPEC+ Policy Middle East Tensions: Ongoing U.S. military activity in Yemen has introduced geopolitical uncertainty, which could drive up oil prices. Historically, geopolitical disruptions have led to sudden price spikes, making this a critical factor to monitor. OPEC+ Production Adjustments: Despite announced production cuts, increased exports of refined products by OPEC nations are offsetting crude supply reductions. This has limited the bullish impact of output cuts and prevented oil from breaking out of its long-term consolidation range. 2. Economic Demand & Global Growth China’s Economic Stimulus: China remains the world’s largest oil importer, and recent stimulus measures aimed at boosting consumption have supported oil demand. Retail sales and industrial production in China exceeded expectations, which has provided a short-term tailwind for crude. U.S. Economic Uncertainty & Tariff Concerns: The Biden administration’s reciprocal tariffs, set to take effect in April, have raised concerns about global economic growth. A slowdown in trade and manufacturing activity could put downward pressure on oil demand. 3. Structural Demand Shift: The Rise of EVs Electric Vehicles (EVs) are impacting long-term oil demand. China’s EV boom is accelerating faster than expected, reducing future oil consumption. Major oil producers are beginning to factor in a slower demand outlook, which could keep prices in check over the long term. Conclusion: A Key Inflection Point for Crude Oil Crude oil is at a critical support level, sitting at the bottom of a multi-year consolidation range around $65-$66. If this level holds, we could see a bounce toward the $75-$85 resistance zone in the coming months. However, a break below $60-$61 would signal a bearish structural shift and open the door for further downside. Geopolitical risks, OPEC supply dynamics, and global economic conditions remain the key fundamental drivers influencing oil prices. For now, traders and investors should monitor the $65 support level closely. If we see a breakout above the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, it could indicate the start of a new bullish trend within the existing range.

Weekly Market Forecast WTI CRUDE OIL: Bearish! Wait For SellsThis forecast is for the week of March 17 - 21st. WTI Crude Oil is in consolidation, but forming a wedge pattern. As the market condenses, we no watch out for a breakout that could go in either direction. But if we take note of the Weekly bearish FVG that formed last week, we simply wait for price to sting into it and use it to move lower. The market is weak, and has been trending down for over two months now. Using the trend and the -FVG, the higher probability is for price to continue lower, as long as the -FVG holds.

USOIL Market Outlook – Key Levels and Scenarios📌 Market Structure 🔹 Key Support Zone (~64.50 - 65.30 USD) The price has tested this area multiple times, highlighted by the red dashed line at the bottom. A pronounced lower wick suggests a possible exhaustion of bearish pressure. 🔹 Intermediate Resistance (~68.20 - 70.00 USD) The price has reacted to this zone, which appears to be a former support turned resistance. Caution is needed for potential rejections in this range. 🔹 Liquidity and Wider Supply Zone (~75.00 - 80.00 USD) This area, marked with red/purple gradients, represents a selling zone with a high concentration of orders. The price could be drawn to this level if the bullish phase continues. 📉 Bearish Scenario Failure to break above 68.20 - 70.00 USD could lead to a retest of 64.50 - 65.30 USD. A breakdown below this level could open the way toward 62.40 - 60.00 USD. 📈 Bullish Scenario A weekly close above 68.20 - 70.00 USD could trigger a recovery toward 75.00 - 77.00 USD. A breakout above 80.00 USD would invalidate the long-term bearish structure. 🔎 Conclusion: The price is currently at a critical stage around 68 USD, with potential for a pullback. Monitoring the reaction between 65.30 - 68.20 USD will be key in determining the next direction. Volume and macroeconomic factors (OPEC, oil inventories, Fed policies) will be crucial in confirming the trend.

#202511 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oil futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Weekly chart. First green week after 7 consecutive bear weeks. Astonishing eh. Weak bull bar anyhow and sideways is more likely than anything above 70, for now at least. We have now seen higher highs but the 2024-04 highs were not broken and market failed below 80. So the multi-year contraction is still valid. Same for the downside. Lows were not broken for now and bears would need to get below the 2024-09 low to make new ones. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 65 - 70 bull case: Bulls have nothing. Still. They need a daily close above 70 to start having arguments again. For now they just stopped new lows after 7 weeks and any bounce is likely to get sold again. Daily 20ema at 68.4 is their next target and above that they could try for 70. Since we made higher lows and lower highs last week, we are obviously in a triangle, which could break on Monday. Invalidation is below 64. bear case: Bears needed to take profits and reduce risk at these lows that were previous support. For now I see the chance of another leg down as very low so I don’t have many arguments for the bears. If we close strongly below 65, it opens up 64, then 62 but we have so many previous lows (support) down here, it’s just not a good short trade. Invalidation is above 71. short term: Neutral again. No shorts for me down here. Want to see either 70 or 63 next week. medium-long term - Update from 2025-02-23: Bear trend is getting weaker but I still see this going sideways around 70 instead of a range expansion. current swing trade: None chart update: Minor adjustments to the trend lines.

CRUDE OIl PROBABLY IN WAVE 'C' - SHORTCRUDE OIL is most probably in wave C of a bigger ABC wave, as C waves are impulse waves they should unfold as a 5 wave structure down. If the wave count is correct then wave C will either equal wave A or you can use the triangle measure rule for targets if your a chart pattern person. Direction is looking down, however Bears will have to fight thru the support range level 65 - 61 or base of the triangle level first. As wave C is an impulse wave price should move fast downwards once support level is breach. Incase price starts holding around support level, it will indicate that prices will reverse upward for a more complex corrective wave structure. Let see how this plays, Good Luck !

U.S. Crude Imports Remain Weak While Exports DeclineShifting Trade Flows and Supply Balances U.S. crude oil imports declined by 106,000 barrels per day (bpd) last week, bringing total inbound shipments to 5.8 million bpd. Over the past four weeks, imports have averaged 10.7% lower than the same period last year, reflecting a sustained trend of reduced reliance on foreign crude. This decline aligns with the broader market shift, as the U.S. continues to strengthen its position as a net exporter of petroleum products. At the same time, crude exports fell by 52,000 bpd, indicating a temporary slowdown in outbound shipments. While the U.S. remains a major supplier to global markets, fluctuating trade volumes suggest ongoing adjustments in global crude flows, influenced by price differentials, refining demand, and geopolitical factors. Market Impact and Price Trends The reduction in both imports and exports comes amid a broader buildup in U.S. crude inventories, which increased by 3.6 million barrels last week. Despite this, WTI crude prices ( PYTH:WTI3! ) dipped below $70 per barrel, reinforcing concerns about softening demand. With domestic production stable and refinery runs declining, import volumes may remain subdued in the near term, potentially keeping a lid on crude price recoveries. Global crude market participants are closely watching how U.S. trade patterns evolve, especially as OPEC+ production policies and refining activity shifts impact supply dynamics. If U.S. refiners ramp up utilization rates in the coming months, crude import demand could see a rebound, affecting both domestic stockpiles and global price balances. Investment and Trading Considerations For energy investors, the decline in imports highlights the growing influence of domestic production on U.S. supply stability. Companies focused on pipeline transportation and export infrastructure, such as Enterprise Products Partners ( NYSE:EPD ) and Kinder Morgan ( NYSE:KMI ), may see shifts in demand for their services depending on how trade volumes evolve. Additionally, crude tanker stocks could be impacted if global crude flows continue to adjust to changing U.S. trade balances. The continued decline in U.S. crude imports signals a structural shift in supply dynamics, with domestic production playing an increasingly dominant role. However, reduced exports may indicate near-term softness in global demand, creating a complex backdrop for crude price movements in the weeks ahead.
