Crude Oil – Range Getting Too Long to Ignore
Oil has been stuck in a prolonged range, and a breakout in either direction is becoming increasingly likely.
The overall trend remains bullish, as there’s been no confirmed trend reversal yet.
📌 Key Scenarios:
A break to the upside would signal continuation of the bullish trend.
A break below the range could confirm a potential trend reversal.
📈📉 To avoid missing the next move, this setup can be traded with Buy Stop above the range and Sell Stop below it, allowing you to catch the momentum regardless of the direction.
⚠️ Wait for confirmation on higher timeframes if you prefer less risk

Crude oil extends fallsThe crude oil market has entered a fragile and uncertain phase, with prices retreating from recent highs. While WTI crude is still holding above the critical $65 mark on a closing basis, it was below this handle at the time of writing. So, the overall tone remains cautious, with a bearish tilt expected to persist in the near term.
Technical Outlook: WTI Breaks Key Support
The WTI crude chart shows a breakdown of a short-term bullish trend line, and lower lows. The price failed to reclaim the 200-day moving average and found strong resistance since. Currently, it is testing support around $65.00. A daily close below this level could trigger further bearish momentum, with the next support zones seen at $64, and then the next round handles below that. $60 per barrel could be reached if the macro backdrop doesn't improve.
Geopolitical Factors: Trump’s Tariff Threats Dismissed
Donald Trump’s threats of 100% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil sparked initial concern but were ultimately shrugged off by the market. Traders interpreted the 50-day delay in enforcement and Trump’s historical pattern of backing off such threats as signs that immediate supply disruptions were unlikely.
OPEC+ Strategy: Supply Returning to the Market
OPEC+ has announced a larger-than-expected production increase of 548,000 bpd for August, with another 550,000 bpd potentially coming in September. This roll-back of earlier voluntary cuts aims to recapture market share, especially as U.S. shale production slows. However, the added supply may cap price gains, particularly as demand is expected to ease after the peak U.S. driving season.

Hellena | Oil (4H): LONG to 50% lvl Fibo area of 70.00.Colleagues, after a long break, I think it is worth returning to oil forecasts. The situation is stabilizing a bit and now I think that the price is in a strong correction (ABC) at the moment I see wave “B”, which may reach the area of 50% Fibonacci 70 level.
It is possible that wave “A” will continue to develop towards the 62-63 area, but I still hope for an upward movement.

USOIL H4 bullish upward ⚠️ Disrupted Analysis – WTI Crude Oil (4H Chart)
🔻 Bearish Pressure Re-Entering
Despite a temporary candle breakout, the price failed to sustain above the breakout trendline.
The recent price action inside the orange circle shows lower highs and rejection wicks, indicating bullish weakness.
📉 Potential Breakdown Risk
If the price fails to hold above 66.00, there's a high probability of it breaking below the support area around 64.80–65.00, leading to:
Increased bearish momentum
Retesting lower demand zones, possibly around 63.50–64.00
❌ Resistance Area Still Valid
The Resistance area at 68.00–69.00 remains unchallenged.
The "Target" shown is optimistic under current momentum.
Without strong volume and bullish candles, that target remains unlikely in the near term.
🔁 Disruption Summary
The bullish breakout is likely a false breakout.
Market may be forming a bull trap.
Watch for a clean break below 65.00 for confirmation of a bearish reversal.
USOILShort short short !!!

-64.72 TP2
As long as it's bearish and doesn't close above the red line, assume bearish. The green dotted lines also can suggest demand zones which could suggest a change in direction (bullish soldiers) will enter the battlefield. Trade with focus and follow your trading plan.

WTI Crude corrective pullback testing support at 6500Trade Tensions & Inflation Impact on WTI Crude
Tariff Announcement: The US has imposed reciprocal tariffs on 22 nations, including major trade partners such as the EU, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and South Korea, after a failed trade agreement during the 90-day negotiation window.
EU Response: The EU is preparing retaliatory tariffs unless a deal is reached before the August 1 deadline, raising the risk of a trade war escalation.
Trump's Warning: The US President has threatened additional tariffs if retaliatory measures are enacted, compounding uncertainty in global trade flows.
Inflation Spike: US June CPI rose to 2.7% YoY, in line with expectations. The increase was driven by higher prices of imported goods, as tariffs begin affecting consumer costs.
Fed Policy Impact: Rising inflation weakens the case for a Fed rate cut in September, dampening liquidity expectations and investor risk sentiment.
Conclusion for WTI Crude Trading
The combination of rising inflation, tariff-driven cost pressures, and a potential stall in Fed easing is bearish for WTI crude in the near term.
Additionally, intensifying trade tensions threaten global demand outlooks, which may further weigh on oil prices.
Traders should expect near-term downside pressure on WTI crude unless there is a clear de-escalation in trade rhetoric or a surprise dovish pivot from the Fed.
Bias: Cautiously Bearish on WTI Crude near term.

WTI Crude Oil Analysis – July 15, 2025Following recent Middle East tensions, WTI crude oil briefly surged to around $77.
However, the price quickly retraced back to its previous range and seems to have resumed its prior downward trajectory — characterized by a gradual bearish slope.
🔍 It’s important to remember that before the geopolitical events, analysts were eyeing the $52 level as a potential target.
Now, with liquidity being absorbed around the $70 area, that bearish scenario remains valid.
📉 Unless oil decisively breaks above key resistance levels, the outlook continues to favor a slow, downward trend.
BRENT CRUDE OIL FORMED A BEARISH WEDGE. ANOTHER POSSIBLE DECLINEBRENT CRUDE OIL FORMED A BEARISH WEDGE. ANOTHER POSSIBLE DECLINE?📉
USOIL has been trading bullish within the last couple of days, supported by prospects of tighter supply and an improved demand outlook. US crude inventories dropped last week, which indicates firm demand despite the rising output.
Still, technically, oil looks bearish. It has formed a bearish wedge and is currently testing the former trendline from below. The most probable scenario is that wee see the bearish impulse towards 6,500.00 with further decline. Another option is that the rise will continue towards 6,900.00 level.
Crude oil rises slowly but falls quickly?
💡Message Strategy
International oil prices continued to climb on Monday, but the gains were limited. Brent crude futures rose 8 cents to $70.44 a barrel, continuing Friday's 2.51% rise. U.S. WTI crude rose 5 cents to $68.50, having surged 2.82% the previous trading day.
The main driving force behind this round of gains came from the market's expectation that the United States would further increase sanctions on Russia. U.S. President Trump said on Sunday that he would provide Ukraine with the Patriot air defense missile system and would make a "major statement" on the Russian issue on Monday.
The contradiction between supply and demand is also intensifying. According to market surveys, Brent crude oil rose by 3% last week and WTI rose by 2.2%. The International Energy Agency (IEA) pointed out that although the market supply and demand appear to be balanced on the surface, the actual global oil supply may be tighter than expected due to the summer refining peak and rising electricity demand.
📊Technical aspects
WTI crude oil continued its rebound from last week's low on the daily chart, and the current price is running at the downward support of $66.70, indicating that the short-term bullish power has increased. The MACD indicator shows a golden cross and initial volume, and the momentum column begins to turn positive, indicating that the price is expected to challenge the previous high area (69.50-70.20 US dollars).
The short-term (1H) trend of crude oil is highly repetitive, and the oil price is supported at the lower edge of the wide range and rises again. The short-term objective trend direction is upward within the range. The bullish momentum is sufficient.
💰Strategy Package
Long Position:65.50-66.50,SL:64.00,Target:69.00-70.00
Crude oil rebounds after a correction!International oil prices continued to climb on Monday, though the gains were limited. Brent crude futures rose 8 cents to $70.44 per barrel, extending Friday's 2.51% rally. U.S. WTI crude edged up 5 cents to $68.50 per barrel, after surging 2.82% in the previous trading session.
The primary driver behind the current upward move stems from market expectations of further escalation in U.S. sanctions against Russia. U.S. President Trump stated on Sunday that he would provide Ukraine with the "Patriot" air defense missile system and deliver a "major announcement" on Russia-related issues on Monday. "Trump is dissatisfied with the Russian President's failure to advance the peace process, a stance exacerbated by Russia's continued bombing of Ukrainian cities in recent days.
In the short term (1-hour timeframe), crude oil has shown high volatility, with prices finding support at the lower edge of the wide trading range and moving higher again. The objective short-term trend direction is upward within the range, with sufficient bullish momentum. However, given the high probability of recent erratic price swings, there is a greater likelihood that intraday crude oil prices will encounter resistance at the upper edge of the range and pull back.
