The Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Crude Oil Inventories measures the weekly change in the number of barrels of commercial crude oil held by US firms. The level of inventories influences the price of petroleum products, which can impact inflation.
If the increase in crude inventories is more than expected, it implies weaker demand and is bearish for crude prices and vice-versa.
The previous actual reading was -2.17M, while the expected figure was -2.135M. The next report is due on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, 20:00GMT. Its forecast also stands at -1.320M.
The WTI chart shows the price is in uptrend. Till Mid-July, the price was trading below both the moving averages.

Price in the next phase formed a break and retest pattern crossing above both the 200 and 50MA. The moving average formed a golden cross on 24th August, where the price took the support and went up, continuing the trend.
The most important is the Bearish RSI Divergence, signifying the market could reverse, and the trend may change to bearish. Traders must wait for the break of the previous swing low.
