    WTI Crude Oil chart analysis with AI

    WTI (West Texas Intermediate) is the main US crude oil benchmark, priced in dollars per barrel. Most charts follow the front-month futures contract.

    What moves WTI Crude Oil

    • Weekly US crude inventory data from the EIA
    • OPEC+ production decisions
    • Global demand expectations and economic growth
    • US production levels and shale output
    • Geopolitical events in oil-producing regions and the US dollar

    When WTI trades most

    Active mostly during the US session when the NYMEX market is liquid. Futures trade nearly 24 hours on weekdays, with a short daily break. EIA inventory data usually lands on Wednesdays.

    Volatility

    Moderate to high, with sharp reactions to inventory data and OPEC+ news. Futures contract rolls can create gaps on continuous charts.

    WTI chart questions

    What is a futures roll and why does it matter on a WTI chart?
    Futures contracts expire, so charts roll to the next month. Prices between contracts differ, so continuous charts can show gaps that are not real trading moves.
    What are EIA inventory reports?
    Weekly US government data on crude oil stocks. A surprise relative to forecasts often moves price in the following minutes.
    Is WTI different from Brent?
    They are separate benchmarks with different delivery points and often a price spread. Check which one your broker quotes.
