Elliott Wave view: WTI Crude Oil (CL) eyeing lower range at $68–$73 [Video]

WTI Light Crude Oil (CL) maintains a bearish sequence that began from the May 19, 2026 high. The decline from that peak produced wave 1 at $86.35, followed by a corrective rally in wave 2. This correction unfolded as a zigzag, with wave ((a)) ending at $94.78, wave ((b)) pulling back to $90.12, and wave ((c)) extending higher to $97.02. That move completed wave 2 at a higher degree. Afterward, Oil resumed its decline and broke below the termination of wave 1, confirming the bearish structure.

The downside projection is guided by the 100%–123.6% Fibonacci extension from the May 19 high. This extension aligns with the $68–$73 area, which now represents a potential support zone. From the wave 2 peak, wave ((i)) ended at $89.68, while wave ((ii)) rallied to $95.47. Oil then extended lower again, forming a nested sequence. Within this structure, wave (i) of ((iii)) ended at $85.95, and wave (ii) of ((iii)) rallied to $93.64. The market has since resumed its decline, keeping the bearish outlook intact.

The technical view highlights the likelihood of Oil extending lower toward the $68–$73 zone, consistent with the broader bearish sequence.
