Crude Oil Under Pressure: Production Hike Sparks Bearish Outlook

112

Following the recent OPEC+ decision to increase oil production by 547,000 barrels per day in September, prices have started to slide-just as anticipated . This surge in supply is reversing years of output cuts and is already weighing heavily on market sentiment.
Technical Setup
• Price action is showing clear signs of weakness post-announcement.
• The red zone on the chart marks a critical support area-any daily close below it could trigger a sharp sell-off.
• Our target is set at $59, aligning with broader market expectations and potential oversupply concerns.
Fundamental Drivers
• The production hike is part of OPEC+'s strategy to reclaim market share.
• Analysts warn of a possible global surplus later this year, especially if demand softens amid economic uncertainty .
• Brent and WTI futures have already dipped, reflecting bearish sentiment across the board
* Trade Strategy
This setup combines technical precision with macro fundamentals. If price breaks below the red zone, it could be the ignition point for a swift move toward $59. Eyes on the close-this could be the moment the bears take control.
