USCrude Outlook: Market Sentiment and Key Events for the Next 30 Days
The following factors may affect the price of USCrude:
- According to The Wall Street Journal, US President Donald Trump is considering de-escalating the conflict in the Middle East.
- Trump said US forces could withdraw from Iran within the next two to three weeks. However, markets have reacted cautiously to these statements, as additional US military forces have been deployed to the region.
- International shipping companies are awaiting clear security guarantees and continue to avoid transit through the Strait of Hormuz. This forces logistics companies to use longer and more costly delivery routes for raw materials.
- Oil prices surged by nearly 40% in March, driven by supply disruptions and infrastructure issues among key OPEC producers.
- Apr. 24 — US Michigan Inflation Expectations and US Baker Hughes Oil Rig Count data.
- Apr. 28 — American Petroleum Institute (API) Weekly Crude Oil Stock data.
- Apr. 29 — Fed Interest Rate Decision and US Crude Oil Inventories.

Oil (USCrude) Price Forecast FAQs
Short-term oil price movements depend on incoming news, US inventory data, and geopolitical events. The key support and resistance levels for tomorrow are $87.30 and $99.69, respectively. Technical indicators and candlestick patterns are mainly bullish. Oil prices are likely to rise.
Next week, the US Fed will announce its rate decision, and first-quarter GDP data will be released. Meanwhile, the risks of escalation in the Middle East conflict persist. In a bullish scenario, prices may rise to $111.23 or higher; in a bearish scenario, they could fall toward $78.42.
Oil prices will be driven by the balance of supply and demand. Risks of a recession, progress in Iran negotiations, or an unexpected increase in OPEC+ production could put downward pressure on prices. Further escalation in the Middle East, on the other hand, may support oil price growth. The asset is expected to trade within the $82.72–$133.91 range.
Short-term declines may occur if US commercial inventories rise unexpectedly, OPEC+ decides to increase production, macroeconomic data weaken, or the market undergoes a technical correction after a strong rally.
