WTI Crude Oil Forecast: Pulls Back

It also looks like some of the bigger players jumping online could boost demand, but there is a bit of a lag between China’s reopening and high oil demand. West Texas Intermediate crude pulled back slightly during trading on Thursday to test the crucial $75 level. The market has previously seen 3 strong days that we haven’t seen in a long time. However, this is an oversold feature and now I think reality is starting to turn. Advertisement Take advantage of today’s movements in crude oil Trade now The long-term trend is reinforced by the 50-day EMA around the $82 level and is falling.

With demand falling as it has been, it will be interesting to see what OPEC does next as it is only a matter of time before they start to lose their sense of humor. It is believed that OPEC will probably try to cut production soon, but if there is a lack of demand, there is not much the cartel can do about it.

Liquidity is starting to dry up USD had a very strong day during Thursday’s session and of course commodities are affected. It just costs less US dollars to buy , barrels of oil than yesterday. At least until we break above the 50 day EMA I would see this as a market area to start buying because it was so negative that it would be comfortable to own oil in this situation. On top of everything else, we’re entering a new year, which means liquidity will dry up. Anything can happen in a situation like this, but frankly, nothing often dies. In other words, we can be content to just hang around negatively in the field we’ve been in for a while.
