Daily Energy Market Update June 11, 2026

Liquidity’s Daily Market Overview

Energy Market Update

Crude oil opened overnight higher on geopolitical risk following renewed tensions in the Middle East, briefly extending gains as markets continued to price in potential supply disruption risks around the Strait of Hormuz. However, momentum quickly faded as reports indicated a rapid wind-down of U.S. strike activity against Iran, shifting sentiment back toward de-escalation.

As the U.S. session approaches, crude has given back a portion of the overnight rally and is trading off its highs as the geopolitical risk premium unwinds. Price action has returned to a more technical focus after the initial headline-driven spike, with traders reassessing whether the latest escalation marks a short-lived event rather than a sustained disruption.

Overall, overnight trade was characterized by an early risk premium bid followed by a reversal as the market moved back toward a “buy-the-dip equities / risk normalization” narrative, leaving crude more reactive to technical levels heading into the session.

Crude (CLN6)

Crude oil opened higher overnight and rallied to an intra-day high of 93.64. The advance stalled just below the 20-day moving average before prices reversed lower heading into the U.S. session.

Today's trade is setting up for a fifth consecutive close below the 50-day moving average, reinforcing the recent deterioration in the market's technical structure. While momentum indicators remain in oversold territory, they continue to point lower, suggesting downside pressure has yet to fully exhaust itself.

Key Levels

Resistance

• 92.08 – 50-day moving average

• 94.04 – 20-day moving average

• 97.00 – Last week's high

Support

• 86.35 – Late-May low

• 84.04 – Lower Bollinger Band

Heating Oil (HON6):

Heating oil opened overnight higher and traded up to a high of 3.7129 before reversing and trading to a new low for the day. The high was near the 20-day moving average, which has acted as a pivot point over the past several weeks.

If heating oil closes below 3.6593 today, it will mark the fifth consecutive close below the 50-day moving average, suggesting the potential for a test of lower support levels.

Momentum indicators remain oversold but continue to point lower, indicating that downside pressure is still present despite stretched conditions.

Key levels

Resistance

• 3.6593 — 50-day moving average

• 3.7034 — 20-day moving average

• 3.8782 — June 3 high

Support

• 3.4466 — Late-May low

• 3.3865 — Lower Bollinger Band

Crude Spread (CLZ6/CLZ7)

The spread opened above the 20-day moving average and traded over 8.40, the high from the beginning of June, which has acted as resistance on three separate attempts to break it. Price has since reversed and is now trading lower on the session at 7.16. The 50-day moving average has also acted as a pivot, with the spread at 6.95 and currently holding above that key level.

Momentum is oversold but has crossed higher, suggesting the downside has run out of momentum.

Key levels

Resistance

• 7.89 — 20-day moving average

• 8.39 — 50% Fibonacci retracement

• 9.73 — 61.8% Fibonacci retracement

Support

• 5.86 — Tuesday’s low
