WTI Crude Oil (WTI) Up or Down on June 26?

Platform comparison

Market context

The real-world event driving this market is the daily settlement price of WTI Crude Oil futures on 26 June 2026, which will be compared against the prior trading day’s close to determine if the price moved up or down. With the crowd-implied probability of an “Up” move at 0%, traders are betting decisively on a decline, likely anchored in recent geopolitical volatility and supply chain shifts.

Historically, similar Monday settlement markets have often followed Friday’s close with modest intraday reversals, particularly when geopolitical tensions flare over weekend periods. In June 2024, WTI fell 1.8% on a Monday following a weekend escalation in the Persian Gulf, mirroring today’s setup where renewed tensions off Oman’s coast have already pushed prices higher on Thursday before a sharp pullback [1]. This pattern suggests that the current 0% probability reflects a belief that the Thursday rally was short-covering noise, not a sustained trend.

Traders should watch for scheduled declarations from UK Maritime Trade Operations regarding the Oman incident, as well as any updates on Strait of Hormuz reopening, which could alter supply expectations overnight. A recent report from Barchart notes that crude supplies resumed through the reopened Strait, easing global concerns and contributing to Thursday’s price drop before the rally [1]. The market is leaning on the Hormuz reopening as the primary catalyst, with any reversal in that status likely to trigger a sharp correction.
