In 2026, the market just opened, and international oil prices rose slightly, but this increase seems somewhat pale compared to the entire year's decline in 2025 — the largest annual drop since 2020. The short-term rebound is mainly constrained by geopolitical situations: Ukrainian drones continue to attack Russian refining facilities, and U.S. sanctions on Venezuela are tightening, directly reducing global oil supply. However, U.S. crude oil production has hit a record high, and market concerns about oversupply have not dissipated, which has become the ceiling for oil price rebounds. OPEC+ is about to hold a meeting, and industry insiders generally speculate that they will continue to hold back on increasing production. From the perspective of supply and demand imbalance in the energy market, this tug-of-war is expected to continue.

Wait a moment, I need to take a close look at this data chain... U.S. production hitting a new high, OPEC+ holding steady, and geopolitical tensions restricting supply. It's clearly a classic battle between bullish and bearish funds. According to on-chain transaction flow data, institutions are clearly building positions at this point.

This recent rebound in oil prices is just self-deception. The curse of oversupply due to record-breaking US production still can't be shaken off.

This wave of oil price rebound is truly weak... Supply has been cut, but demand is still oversaturated, a typical case of structural bleeding. While US production hits new highs, OPEC continues to play dead. In other words, liquidity exhaustion symptoms are becoming apparent. It is recommended to regularly review the clinical manifestations of the geopolitical situation.

This recent rebound in oil prices is really a paper tiger; it's the U.S. production bottlenecking.

Oil prices rebounding? That's laughable. To put it nicely, it's a rebound; to be harsh, it's just a fleeting flash of light...
Overproduction is an issue that even OPEC+ can't control. Are they just sitting and waiting for the meeting?
U.S. production hitting a new all-time high is the real killer move; everything else is useless.
With both geopolitics and production at play, oil prices are caught in the middle—really unlucky. They can't go up.
Prices are falling so sharply in 2025; this small rebound isn't enough to watch. It might be better to just hit rock bottom...

The recent rebound in oil prices is really a paper tiger. If it drops to this level by 2025, what's the point of a slight increase now?

To be honest, this rebound in oil prices is just a bluff to save face; it can't really create waves.
