After a period of fluctuation, it will continue to decline.WTI crude oil has recouped part of the decline from the sharp drop at the start of this week. It was quoted at $57.55 per barrel during intraday trading. OPEC+ has unexpectedly increased production again, and WTI crude oil has continued the bearish trend that has gradually taken shape since March. With the increase in global supply and the rise in macro risks, the downward price range has emerged once again. If the tensions in the Middle East escalate further, it may trigger market volatility. The eight core member states of the organization, led by Saudi Arabia, have agreed to increase daily production by 411,000 barrels in June, which is the same as the unexpected production increase in May. The cumulative production increase now exceeds 800,000 barrels per day, marking an important step towards canceling the target of the voluntary production cut of 2.2 million barrels per day that has been promised since 2022. Crude oil showed a trend of rising first and then falling today. After breaking through a new low, the upward movement continued. It faced resistance after reaching

Oil is Doomed: Time to SELL (Part 2/3)Drill, Baby, Drill & Trump’s Oil Pressure
🇺🇸 Trump’s Oil Agenda
Trump wants cheap oil to bring down inflation and interest rates. His rallying cry? *“Drill, baby, drill.”*
That means: more drilling, more refining, more pipelines → more US oil flooding the global market.
💼 MAGA & Low Oil Prices
Trump believes cheap oil = strong economy . He also wants to pressure OPEC and Saudi Arabia to cut prices as a way to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
Flashback: In 2020, oil went negative ($-40!) when Saudi and Russia ramped production. History may rhyme again.
⚠️ Demand Problems
OPEC, IEA, EIA, Rystad — all lowering demand forecasts for 2025.
Even the most optimistic see demand growth at 1.2 million bpd , down from 1.85.
And that’s before green energy kicks in harder:
🔋 Solar & wind are now cheaper in 96% of the world.
🌍 Renewables are eating into fossil fuel demand.
WTI Oil H4 | Rising into a swing-high resistanceWTI oil (USOIL) is rising towards a swing-high resistance and could potentially reverse off this level to drop lower.
Sell entry is at 59.71 which is a swing-high resistance that aligns close to the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement.
Stop loss is at 62.30 which is a level that sits above an overlap resistance.
Take profit is at 55.10 which is a swing-low support.

WTI TRADE IDEAhello everyone
From the previous oil movement, the entry at 58.52 moved up by 80 pips before hitting breakeven. For the upcoming open market, if the trendline and support or resistance break out as shown on the M30 chart, it could signal an opportunity to enter the market.
Ensure strong confirmation before acting, and keep an eye on shifts in market structure.
Thanks a lot for your support & best of luck

Analysis and Layout of Crude Oil at the Opening of the MarketThe international crude oil market has experienced intense fluctuations. Both Brent crude oil and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil have recorded significant declines, dropping by 8.31% and 7.58% respectively. The expectations of OPEC+ production increase, the trade concerns triggered by Trump, and the market's risk aversion sentiment due to the global economic slowdown have become the key factors dominating the trend of oil prices.
The crude oil has corrected and broken below the support line, and there is a high probability that the bearish trend will enter a further acceleration stage. After the initial rise followed by a fall, the demarcation line between the bulls and the bears is around 59.4. If it comes under pressure again, it will indicate the continuation of the future trend. The moving average system is in a bearish arrangement, and it is suppressed by the 30-day moving average. Objectively, the short-term trend direction remains downward. Next week, consider taking short positions around 59.4 and expect further decline.
Summary of the Crude Oil Market This WeekThis week, the crude oil market witnessed a significant decline. Brent crude oil dropped by a cumulative 8.3%, and WTI crude oil fell by 7.5%. Both recorded their largest single-week declines since the end of March.👉👉👉
OPEC+ convened a production meeting ahead of schedule and planned to discuss the production increase plan for June. The market bets that the probability of a production increase is as high as 70%. Previously, OPEC+ unexpectedly announced in April that it would increase daily production by 411,000 barrels starting from May, which is three times the original planned increase. This move aimed to punish member states that had overproduced oil. If production is further increased in June, it will further intensify the supply pressure on the market.
Although the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East region have intensified, such as the postponement of the fourth round of nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran, which has, to a certain extent, provided support for oil prices, judging from the overall market situation this week, this supporting effect has failed to offset the impact of increased supply and decreased demand.
Overall, this week, under the intertwined influence of factors such as increased supply, uncertain demand prospects, and changes in the geopolitical situation, the crude oil market showed a significant downward trend. The market's expectations for crude oil prices are rather pessimistic, and it is expected that crude oil prices will still face certain downward pressure in the coming period. However, if OPEC+ changes its production increase plan, or if there is an unexpected improvement in the global economy, crude oil prices may rebound.

USOIL – Buyers Might Be Waking UpFrom last week, USOIL dropped aggressively from the 65.27 resistance zone and hit our 57.00 support target — a level we’ve been watching closely.
Now here’s where it gets interesting…
Current Observation:
The 57.00 support seems to be holding strong.
We’re starting to see signs that sellers might be losing momentum around this zone.
Price has reacted with a bounce, and if it sustains above 57.00, we could see the buyers step back in.
What I'm Watching:
– A confirmed hold above 57.00 could offer a buy opportunity, targeting to see a break above 59.5 first, then possibly 61.8 – 62.0.
– However, if 57.00 breaks, I’ll be shifting bias back to the downside, watching 55.10 next.
Key Levels:
– Support: 57.00 → 55.10
– Resistance: 59.5 → 62.0 → 65.27
At this point, it's all about how price reacts around 57.00 and 59.50.
A bounce and strong close above? I’ll be looking to go long.
Failure to hold? The sell pressure might continue.
Let’s see how this plays out. Trade safe.
USOIL trading alerts. Pressure and support.Oil also fell according to instructions. I just forgot to remind you. Sorry, but the profit is quite good. Sell short from 58.7. Then the lowest reached 56.34
But today in the New York market, USOIL rose again above 58. From a fundamental perspective. The market will continue to fall under pressure. But from the trend, we need to pay attention to the support of 58. If it does not fall today, it is likely to continue to fall based on Friday's trend. The pressure level near 59 needs to be paid attention to. In terms of operation, it is still mainly selling at high levels.
Always remind trading risks. So don't ignore this. If you don't know how to trade. Remember to wait and see. Don't trade blindly or gamble.
Many investor friends know that I have led some investors to create good profits for several consecutive days. If you don't know how to trade, remember to leave me a message and try it. Maybe your profit will double.
Can oil prices continue to be shorted? Of courseSaudi Arabia made a major strategic shift, willing to accept low oil prices and unwilling to cut supply.
Oil prices fell sharply as a result.
It is expected that oil prices will hit 55-56 in the short term, so the operation is still mainly shorting oil prices. Overcapacity.
OIL: Very bearish Monthly closeOIL ST/MT Outlook: Sell
From FA perspective, Oil is in downtrend:
1- Worldwide recession is/will create a lower demand for oil.
2- Risk: Agreements between Iran-USA and Ukraine-Russia will fade out any risk related.
From TA perspective:
1- Monthly close is a strong bearish. A continuation down is expected.
2- Next major stop is around $40.
Oil is Doomed: Time to SELL (Part 1/3)A Perfect Storm for Oil Has Begun
The start of April triggered a brutal selloff in oil, and it's only the beginning. Here’s why:
🛑 Global Trade Wars
On April 2nd, Trump launched a full-scale trade war. New tariffs could reach 23% — the highest in a century. China, the world’s largest oil importer, now faces 145% tariffs. Global trade slowdown = weaker demand for oil. Result? Oil dropped 10% in just 2 days — one of the worst drops in history.
📉 US at Risk Too
Goldman Sachs raised recession odds from 15% to 35%. Atlanta FED sees weakening GDP. The whole world slows down — and so does oil demand.
🛢️ OPEC Surprise Output Hike
OPEC+ has started increasing output — over 2.2 million barrels per day in 2025. The April hike alone was supposed to be 138,000 bpd, but turned out to be 411,000 bpd — triple the forecast. This is a MAJOR bearish shock to the market.
Flashback: Spring 2020 — OPEC raised output during an economic crisis. Oil dropped 65% .
USOIL... 1D CHART PATTERNHere's my USOIL (WTI Crude) trade setup.
- *Trade Type:* Sell
- *Entry Price:* 57.74
- *Stop Loss (SL):* 65.54
- *Take Profit (TP):* 51.40
*Quick Risk/Reward Analysis:*
- *Risk:* 65.54 - 57.74 = *7.80*
- *Reward:* 57.74 - 51.40 = *6.34*
- *Risk/Reward Ratio:* 6.34 / 7.80 ≈ *0.81*
*Comment:*
This setup has a risk greater than the potential reward, which is not ideal. A better trade usually has a risk/reward ratio of at least 1:1, preferably 1:2 or more. You might consider adjusting your TP or SL, or confirming the direction with technical/fundamental analysis.
USOIL – Key Levels in Play. Here's What I'm WatchingAfter rejecting the 65.27 resistance, USOIL sold off sharply, dropping to the 59.5 support zone — just as anticipated.
This confirms that the market is still respecting key support and resistance levels and trend lines.
Current Scenario:
Price is sitting around 59.5. If this support holds, we could see a corrective move (buy) back to the 62 region. But that zone is now a strong area of interest — previously a broken support, now likely to act as resistance.
Here’s my game plan:
– If price pulls back to 62 and fails to break above, I’ll be watching for a sell setup targeting the 57 or even 55 area.
– If price breaks and holds above 62 with momentum, then I’ll re-evaluate for possible upside continuation.
– Right now, a short-term buy from 59.5 to 62 is valid, but it's riskier. The safer bias remains to the downside until 62 is broken cleanly.
So, while buyers might attempt something from current levels, the dominant trend and structure still favor the sellers — especially below 62.
WTI Crude Oil selling pressure below 6200The price sentiment for WTI Crude Oil remains bearish, in line with the prevailing downtrend. Recent price action shows an oversold rally, which has stalled near a previous consolidation zone around 6200 — a key resistance level.
Key Resistance Level: 6200
This level marks a previous intraday consolidation area and could act as a ceiling for the current rally.
Bearish Scenario:
If WTI fails to break above 6200, it may resume its decline toward:
5860 (near-term support)
5713
5550 (longer-term support)
Bullish Scenario:
A confirmed breakout and daily close above 6200 would shift momentum and open upside targets at:
6375
6533
6700
Conclusion:
WTI Crude Oil remains under bearish pressure unless it breaks and closes above 6200. Traders should monitor this level closely for signs of rejection or breakout.

Oil : April Could Be the Worst Month in Three and a Half YearsOil Prices: April Could Be the Worst Month in Three and a Half Years
As the XTI/USD chart shows:
→ at the beginning of April, WTI crude was trading above $71 per barrel;
→ this morning, on the last day of the month, the price has fallen below $60.
The overall decline may reach 16% — the worst monthly performance since November 2021.
Why Is Oil Falling?
The primary driver behind the sharp drop in oil prices earlier this month was the introduction of new US tariffs, particularly targeting China and the EU. This raised concerns that a potential global trade war could slow economic growth and, in turn, reduce global oil demand.
According to a Reuters poll, the tariffs imposed by Trump have made a global recession in 2025 a realistic risk.
In addition, growing attention is being paid to OPEC+ and its plans to increase oil production. The next meeting is scheduled for 5 May.
Technical Analysis of the XTI/USD Chart
Oil price fluctuations in 2025 have formed a descending channel (highlighted in red), with lower highs and lower lows reflecting continued bearish sentiment.
Bulls may hope for support to emerge around the $58.85 level, as:
→ this has acted as support before (as indicated by arrows);
→ this level aligns with the lower boundary of a local upward trend (shown in blue), which formed after news broke that Trump had postponed the implementation of some tariffs — triggering a sharp rebound in oil prices from the 9 April low.
Nevertheless, the broader structure remains bearish: the rise towards point C appears to be a corrective recovery following the impulse drop from A to B. Given the potential impact of upcoming news — including statements from the White House and OPEC+ decisions — a bearish breakout below the blue channel cannot be ruled out.

USOIL Crab Harmonic PatternThe potential for an increase in oil prices is on the horizon, especially as buyers seem to be showing interest at the golden Fibonacci level of 60.7 USD, which aligns with harmonic patterns resembling a crab.
This fascinating interplay between market psychology and technical analysis highlights how traders often react to specific price levels.
As we observe these developments, it’s essential to keep an eye on market trends and the underlying factors influencing oil prices.
Buy Opportunity🛢️ WTI Crude Oil (4H) – Bullish Reversal Setup
WTI has hit a significant support zone near $59.30, aligning with a previous demand area and low-volume node from earlier consolidation. Price action suggests potential exhaustion in the selling momentum as indicated by the histogram flattening.
🟢 Entry: $59.32
🎯 Target: $64.69 – Previous swing high and key supply level
🛑 Stop Loss: $57.32
📊 Risk/Reward Ratio: 2.79
📆 Target Date: May 6, 2025
📈 Projected Move: +9.06% / +$5.37
🔍 Key Observations:
Strong support area with prior reaction.
Price now trading at low end of value zone (yellow-blue volume profile), often signaling reaccumulation.
Histogram shows bearish momentum waning – potential for shift in trend.
A move above $61.83 could accelerate bullish continuation.
📌 Bias: Bullish – Buy the dip with confirmation above $60 for safer entry.
