The article analyzes WTI Crude Oil (CL) using Elliott Wave theory, identifying a bearish sequence initiated from a May 19, 2026 high. The decline from $86.35 (wave 1) was followed by a corrective rally in wave 2, forming a zigzag pattern. Current analysis suggests the price is targeting a lower range of $68–$73, with wave ((c)) potentially completing the correction. This technical setup indicates a continuation of the bearish trend, supported by key Fibonacci levels and resistance zones. For traders, this provides a strategic framework to monitor potential breakouts or reversals in the oil market. The analysis is critical for understanding short-term price dynamics, especially as global energy markets remain sensitive to geopolitical tensions and OPEC+ policy shifts. Investors should watch for confirmation of the $68 support level and volume patterns to assess the validity of the bearish scenario. The broader implications for commodity traders include positioning for volatility amid ongoing supply-demand imbalances.
