Green day on Tuesday for United States Oil Fund, LP
(Updated on Jul 21, 2026)
The United States Oil Fund, LP ETF price gained 2.66% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 21st Jul 2026), rising from $125.51 to $128.85. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.82% from a day low at $127.10 to a day high of $129.42. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 18.3% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -588 thousand shares and in total, 6 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $771.99 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The ETFhas broken the very wide and falling short-term trend up. Firstly a slower falling rate is indicated, but this may very well be an early signal of a trend shift. On the reaction, there will be support on the roof of the current trend broken, which is $127.73, a level that may pose a second chance to hit a runner. According to fan-theory $160.00 will be the next possible trend-top level and thereby pose a resistance level that may not be broken at the first attempt.
USO Signals & Forecast
Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The United States Oil Fund, LP ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the ETF. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $122.42 and $119.15. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, July 01, 2026, and so far it has risen 24.77%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The ETF should be watched closely.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for United States Oil Fund, LP ETF
United States Oil Fund, LP finds support from accumulated volume at $128.83 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

The United States Oil Fund, LP ETF is extremely overbought on RSI14 (78). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the ETF has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the ETF will find support at the trend broken.
Our recommended stop-loss: $125.06 (-2.94%) (This ETF has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 78 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 13 days ago.)

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 22nd we expect United States Oil Fund, LP to open at $128.46, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $126.53 and $131.17, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$4.65 (+/-3.67%) up or down from last closing price. If United States Oil Fund, LP takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.67% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $128.83 (0.02%) than the resistance at $134.72 (4.56%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
