What will WTI Crude Oil (WTI) hit in July 2026?

Platform comparison

Market context

The underlying event is the settlement price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil for July 2026, which determines whether the market hits a specific threshold. Current spot prices sit at $69.89, having broken below the $74.55 target zone last week, with technical indicators like MACD and RSI signalling weakening bullish momentum and rising selling pressure[1].

Historical parallels from April 2025 show WTI dropping to $60.70 when widespread trade tariffs triggered a four-year low, framing the current 0% probability as a reaction to easing supply crunches rather than a structural floor[3]. Analysts forecast a second-half 2026 range of $66.77 to $97.25, with conservative estimates suggesting a decrease to $69.66, making extreme highs unlikely unless a symmetrical triangle breakout occurs upward[1].

Traders must monitor the US Energy Information Administration’s weekly inventory schedules and any new OPEC production announcements, as these dependencies directly influence spot volatility[3]. Recent marketwatch data confirms Corrected Oil posted its largest quarterly price drop in six years, indicating that historic supply constraints have eased significantly, which supports the current bearish line[9].
