Crude oil (WTI)
CLLast scan 1h ago
Slightly bearish (50% confidence)
Why this score
Crude Oil's confidence score slipped slightly from 50.7 to 50.3 out of 100, driven by a weak momentum score of 38 and a complete lack of bullish signals. The asset is experiencing broad technical weakness, currently trading 8.8% below its 50-day moving average, sitting underneath its 200-day moving average, and posting a negative MACD histogram. While a solid risk score of 73 and a neutral news score of 53 help stabilize the rating, the overall chart structure remains broken. The single biggest thing to watch next is whether the price can reclaim its 50-day moving average to help reverse the short-term downtrend.

What changed since the last scan
1h agoSince the previous scan, Crude oil (WTI) (CL) experienced minimal activity, with its confidence score dropping slightly from 50.7 to 50.3. No metric category shifted by more than 2 points, and no new anomaly flags were raised during this period.

Ultimately, the 0.4-point score decline reflects a quiet scan with no significant underlying shifts.

Bull case vs bear case
Both cases built from the same evidenceBull case
Despite having no explicit bullish signals, Crude Oil maintains a neutral overall confidence score of 50.3/100, anchored by a solid risk sub-score of 73. Additionally, the asset's news sub-score remains slightly positive at 53, suggesting some fundamental stability despite technical drag.
Bear case
The technical landscape for Crude Oil is severely depressed, marked by a low momentum sub-score of 38 and zero active bullish signals. The long-term trend structure is broken as price trades -8.8% below the 50-day moving average, below the 200-day moving average, and with a MACD currently beneath its signal line.
Balanced read: Current evidence strongly favors the bear case, driven by a broken long-term trend structure, zero bullish signals, and a price trading -8.8% below its 50-day moving average. A shift in momentum above 38 and a reclaim of its 50-day and 200-day moving averages would be required to flip the narrative toward the bulls.
