Crude Oil Weekly Outlook: Inventory Pressure and 59.7 Key levelBackdrop: The Crude Oil Narrative The tone in crude oil has been largely defined by a tug-of-war between demand uncertainty and controlled supply. OPEC has maintained its view that global oil demand should continue growing into 2026, but at a modest pace. Despite this, the group has acknowledged noticeable inventory builds worldwide over recent months. That dynamic alone has kept sentiment cautious and has acted as a headwind for sustained rallies. OPEC+ has also chosen to hold off on further production increases into early 2026. Instead of expanding output, the group is now focusing on capacity assessments and quota alignment among members. This shift signals discipline on the supply side, but also suggests that the group is aware of potential oversupply risk if demand fails to firm up. Markets have been responding to this mixed backdrop. On one side, controlled supply helps prevent severe breakdowns. On the other, rising inventories and uneven demand expectations limit follow-through on the upside. As a result, price discovery has been driven less by strong directional conviction and more by rotation between value areas, bid blocks, and responsive supply zones. Recent price behavior reflects traders waiting for clearer demand signals before committing to a trend. What the Market Has Done? At the end of September the market sold off but found support around the 60.17 area. That initial drop appears to have been triggered by worries about economic growth and a stronger dollar undermining demand. At the start of October sellers stepped down and held the 62.3 level, which corresponds to the Composite Value area LVN. From that zone prices continued to sell off to 56.0 by mid-October. The continued selloff seems to reflect growing bearish conviction as macro data added to demand fears and inventories remained elevated. Buyers began to accumulate again, forming bid block 1. From there the market auctioned prices upward back to the 62.3 area where sellers were still present and defended that zone vigorously. From the last week of October up until the third week of November offers steadily stepped down as the market grinded lower, auctioning price down back toward bid block 1. Buyers responded by stepping up bids and holding the top of bid block 1 range. Throughout the last week of November the market balanced between 59.0 and 57.3, forming bid block 2 with clear buyer accumulation in that area. In the most recent week, the market balanced between 58.4 (roughly the midpoint of bid block 2) and 59.82 (17 November weekly VPOC). This shifted the weekly value area higher. Last Friday, the market managed a close above the previous week’s VAH, suggesting that buying strength may be gaining momentum. What to Expect This Coming Week? The key level to watch is 59.7, which was last week’s VAH. Bullish scenario If the market holds above 59.7, anticipate a possible move up toward the 61.0 area, which corresponds to a daily level 1 and the weekly 0.5 SD high. Expect sellers to possibly defend 61.0. If price breaks through that zone, the next target is 62.3 (Composite Low Value Area), which is confluent with the weekly 1 SD high. Bearish scenario If buyers cannot defend 59.7, the market could drop back through last week’s value area toward 59.0 (previous week’s VAL), confluent with the weekly 0.5 SD Low. Expect buyers to possibly defend 59.0 Should that support fail, price could move further down toward 58.0 (24 November weekly VPOC), which is confluent with the weekly 1 SD low. Neutral scenario If sellers respond at the 61.0 area or if buyers step up at 58.0, the market could balance here and potentially shift value higher as buyers accumulate. Conclusion In summary crude oil has been trading under pressure from macroeconomic headwinds and demand concerns while finding support at key zones. The market has rotated between zones and recently shows signs of buyer strength. The key 59.7 level will likely dictate whether price heads toward 61.0 or returns toward 58.0.

Crude Oil Showing Lower Rejection For NowCrude Oil Futures (January 2026 Contract) Analysis—4h Chart Crude oil futures (NYMEX: CLF2026) are trading at $58.92 as of the latest 4-hour bar, showing a positive move of +$0.57 (+0.98%) for the day. Today’s session marks a modest recovery for oil, with prices ranging between a low of $58.31 and a high of $59.05. Key observations: After hitting our sell take profit zone this morning, the level was rejected. After dipping to the session low, prices rebounded to close just under the high, suggesting renewed buying interest. Trend outlook: With gains near 1%, short-term technicals suggest further upside if momentum continues. Watch closely for a break above $59.05 for confirmation. Volatility: Intra-session swings remain moderate, but a move above or below today’s range could set the tone for the next direction. Quick Take: Crude oil remains sensitive to global supply cues and economic sentiment. Traders should monitor key resistance near $59.05 and support at $58.31 for breakout signals. Cautious optimism is warranted as oil seeks direction near these pivotal levels. This is not trade advice. #CrudeOil #Futures #TradingView #OilMarkets #TechnicalAnalysis

Crude Oil Sell around 59.00.target 58.00 to 56.00Crude Oil Market Analysis: Recent crude oil price movements have been essentially free money; there's no easy analysis to follow. The key is to wait for the right entry point. Sell when the price reaches the expected rebound level. Conversely, as long as it doesn't break 60.50, it remains extremely weak. Crude oil is bearish, and short-term fluctuations don't change the overall bearish trend. Sell at 59.00 today. Fundamental Analysis: The Fed's interest rate decision was in line with market expectations. The rate cut didn't bring much surprise to the market, except for the official announcement of further rate cuts in 2026, which was somewhat unexpected. In the long term, this will weaken the dollar and support gold. Trading Recommendation: Crude Oil – Sell around 59.00, target 58.00-56.00

Compressed SpringRecent crude oil price action reflects a clear compressed spring phase, characterized by an extended decline followed by progressively narrower ranges, repeated lower wicks, and a lack of downside follow-through despite sustained selling pressure. This behavior points to supply absorption by larger market participants, as the market stops reacting to negative news and volatility contracts in an atypical manner. Technically, the accumulation zone is concentrated between 55–57, while the true trigger is a breakout and daily close above 60.30–60.60. A strong confirmation of a regime shift would be a sustained close above 62, a scenario that historically precedes fast, directional expansions rather than gradual moves, shifting risk away from further downside toward an abrupt bullish impulse.

Crude Oil standing there like an old nightclub bouncerresistance extremely strong nobody gets in, nobody gets out only tension, stares, and ego. The market knows it. The algos know it. And yet they keep running into it, as if reality might change its mind today. But this is where it gets interesting: we’re no longer in the phase of “technical games.” This is a turning point in time. 🌍 Venezuela quietly stepping back onto the stage with barrels. 🌍 Ukraine still a permanent geopolitical fault line risk isn’t an event anymore, it’s a condition. 🌍 OPEC talks, the US watches, China accumulates. The result??? A market that doesn’t want to fall, but also isn’t allowed to rise, because this zone is poured with political, economic, and psychological concrete. Anyone going blind long here believes in hope. Anyone blind short believes in nostalgia. The market? It waits. And that’s exactly what makes this resistance so dangerous. Crude Oil won’t decide today. But when it does it won’t be quietly.

The #1 Re-entry On Sell Shorting OilCrude oil has found a good re- entry to a short sell this is something you really need to look into. On the press you will see that the president of the USA recently captured an oil tanker vessel on the sea port. It belonged to Venezuela Which has the largest oil reserves in the world AM not sure of the details. But the president Donald Trump told the media that it was a huge ship carrying lots of oil reserves. Understand that a oil tanker is so huge approximately about 16 blocks of an average neighbourhood This means if you was on an oil tanker you would need a car to drive from one end of the ship to the other end This drive would take you about 20 mins at a slow speed. Thats how big these ships are. I got this concept from Robert Kiyosaki who was once a ship officer Having oil reserves allows countries with this commodity to control the price of oil which is transported via the sea ports Oil is the life blood of the economy since the beginning of time. The country that has oil will gain political and economy power all around the world Some speculators say that the oil price is cheap relative to the price of bottled water. this is a signal to note that the best short price is in the price of oil NYMEX:CL1!

3 Reasons Oil Prices Are Falling — The Rocket Booster Strategy The Rocket Booster Strategy Explained 🔥 The Rocket Booster Strategy: Why Oil Prices Are Falling Right Now == In the current market environment, Oil has entered a powerful bearish phase, and the chart is telling the whole story. One of the simplest yet most effective technical confirmations is what I call The Rocket Booster Strategy — a momentum -based system built around the 50 EMA and 200 EMA. 🚀 What Is the Rocket Booster Strategy? Think of the 50 EMA and 200 EMA as “boosters” that guide trend direction and strength. When price is above both EMAs, the trend has bullish thrust. When price is below both, the boosters point downward, signaling strong downside momentum. Right now, Oil is experiencing exactly that. 📉 Why Oil Is Falling 1. Price Has Broken Below the 50 EMA The 50 EMA is the first momentum filter. When price closes below it, short-term strength weakens and buyers lose control. 2. Price Is Also Below the 200 EMA This is the bigger confirmation. The 200 EMA represents long-term trend direction. Once price sits below it together with the 50 EMA, the market enters a “gravity zone,” where selling pressure accelerates. 3. EMAs Are Widely Spread The distance between the two EMAs is expanding — a sign that the bearish momentum is not just a pullback but a trend continuation. This is a classic rocket-booster alignment but pointed downward. 🧭 What This Means for Traders The Rocket Booster Strategy tells you one thing: ➡️ The path of least resistance for Oil right now is DOWN. This setup is often used by trend followers to: Take short positions on pullbacks to the 50 EMA Ride momentum moves as long as price stays below both EMAs Target previous swing lows or major demand zones It’s not about predicting — it’s about trading with the flow. ⚠️ Risk Notes No strategy is perfect. Always watch for: Fakeouts above the 50 EMA Sudden news-driven spikes Oversold conditions on higher timeframes Key support levels that may attract buyers 📌 Final Thoughts The Rocket Booster Strategy is powerful because it keeps trading simple. When the 50 EMA and 200 EMA are stacked above price, the boosters are firing downward. Oil is currently in this formation, meaning sellers still control the market. Until price climbs back above the EMAs with strong candles, rallies may simply be opportunities to sell into strength. Rocket boost this content to learn more.
