What will WTI Crude Oil (WTI) hit Week of July 20 2026?

Platform comparison

Market context

WTI crude oil is being judged against a market that has already moved through a sharp 2026 repricing, with one recent forecast putting WTI at about $68.71 after a sell-off driven by stronger physical supply, a resumption of tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and expectations of higher OPEC+ output alongside record U.S. production[2]. Against that backdrop, a 1% crowd-implied probability looks like an extreme-tail view rather than a base case, especially because broader 2026 outlooks still cluster around the low-to-mid $70s for average pricing, even when they allow for a softer second half[9].

The main reference point for traders is the July range itself: one late-June technical forecast saw WTI likely trading between roughly $70.05 and $83.00, while another July outlook put the month’s range closer to $51.99–$76.79, underscoring how wide the dispersion has become[6][8]. A separate market note also flagged $68.47 as a recent low and $80.80–$79.68 as a likely resistance zone, which matters because the July 20–24 window closes before month-end and can still be swayed by short-dated inventory data, OPEC+ commentary, and any fresh geopolitical shift in Middle East supply risk[5][8].
