Recent Trend Review
From K-line data, Brent Crude Oil has recently formed a clear deep V-shaped rebound pattern:
1 May 11-12 (Rapid Drop Phase): Price quickly fell from the $105 range to around $100.53, a total decline of about $5, mainly driven by easing Middle East tensions and ceasefire rumors, causing the market "war premium" to rapidly dissipate.
2 May 13-14 (Bottoming and Rebound): After bottoming near $100.5, it gradually rebounded to the $101-102 range. RSI showed positive divergence after deep oversold conditions, supporting the rebound.
3 May 15-16 (Strong Recovery): Price accelerated upward from around $103 and has now risen back to $105.25, approaching the high levels before the decline, with a strong rebound momentum.
Technical Analysis
RSI: Previously entered deep oversold territory during the decline, now showing a positive crossover signal, indicating short-term rebound momentum remains.
Price Structure: The short-term upward trend line still provides support, and the price is attempting to break through the 50-day moving average resistance.
Key Support Levels: $100.5 (Recent Low), $101.5
Key Resistance Levels: $105.4 (Recent High), $109 (Previous High)
Macro and Fundamental Factors
Strait of Hormuz Risk: Concerns over Strait closure remain a core factor supporting oil prices, with ongoing risks of supply disruption.
EIA Outlook: EIA expects Brent crude oil to average $95 per barrel in 2026 (slightly down from previous forecast of $96), and $79 per barrel in 2027.
JPM Forecast: Even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens in June, persistent inventory declines and logistical bottlenecks will keep the market tight, with Brent averaging $96 in 2026, and quarterly averages of $103 and $104 in Q2/Q3.
IEA Warning: Global crude oil inventories have sharply declined, with OECD inventories possibly approaching operational pressure levels by August.
Gate Platform: The XBR perpetual contract trading symbol has been renamed to BZ, with no change in underlying asset or rules. Gate's crude oil contracts rank among the top in trading volume across the network.
Risk Warning
Crude oil prices are driven by geopolitical, supply-demand, macroeconomic and other factors, with high volatility. The recent situation in the Strait of Hormuz is the biggest uncertainty—if tensions ease, prices may fall sharply again; if tensions persist, prices could test $110. It is recommended to reasonably control positions and leverage, and monitor developments in the Middle East. $XBRUSD
