Gann Stock Exchange Cycles. Oil forecast today Weekly WTI Oil After a long lateral phase that lasted for approximately two years between 2023 and 2025, the oil market broke the lower side of the lateral band downward, leading to the initiation of a new corrective action. In particular, the period between January 17, 2025 and April 11, 2025, WTI prices went from a maximum of $80.73 to a minimum of $55, breaking the lower side of the horizontal band at $64.50. Between May 2 and June 13, oil prices rallied sharply, reaching a top of $64.80, not enough to spark a new up trend. The correct price level to break upwards to re-establish a new positive robust course would have been $78, which did not happen. In fact, we have seen a slow decline in the following weeks, with the return to lows of $55 in early January this year. In the first weeks of January February this year, oil prices are recovering again. To date, prices in the $67.20 area have reached their first dynamic obstacles, the descending 1X8 angles drawn in blue. We will have the first signs of thunderstorms to understand whether this upward phase will be more robust in the period 13-27 March next. The next resistances are at $68 and $73, while the first supports in the area are $61. WTI oil trend in the mid-March/April period Monthly WTI Oil The lateral dynamics between September 2023 and January 2025 are even more evident in the monthly time frame. The sideways base at $64.70 was shattered downward in May 2025. During that period, the two angular supports 1X4 and 1X8 visible in photos with ascending vectors in purple and blue, caused a pull-back in June 2025 and the static octaves in the 58$ area slowed the descending action, in the following months. The last expired Quadrato di Massimo midterm signal coincides with the month of February 2026. The recovery trend is hampered by descending angular resistances in area 67.30$. Subsequent resistance areas at $81. The return below $60.80 will indicate the birth of a new weakness in the trend: first supports in the $50 area; $46.50. Technical analysis oil next quarters 2026 WTI Oil Quarterly The oil market is showing an attempt to restart positivity in the long term. During the Set Up Quarterly, expiring in the first quarter of 2026, the WTI is attempting a new upward acceleration, but 1X4 angular resistances in the 68.80 area; $75.60 are hindering its growth. The static octaves generated a support base in the $55 area. The signal is still evolving until the end of March, and a return in prices below $54.50 will indicate the continuation of negativity with initial targets of $47; $41.
