Near-term: Leans HIGHER
conviction 27% · 636 up vs 1271 down scenarios
WTI crude leans higher near-term — a lean. Of the 1,907 mapped scenarios that move WTI crude, 636 push it up and 1,271 push it down, and weighting each by its probability, size and how soon it bites, the book skews higher. The lead driver pushing WTI crude higher is Russian refinery drone wave (event odds not yet verified; ~3.5% estimated impact on WTI crude if it occurs). Regime backdrop: The week the hike came back.
What flips the up-lean: Saudi riyal peg scare returns (event odds not yet verified).
Probabilistic, scenario-weighted read from the library + the current regime. A lean is a tilt in the odds, not a promise. Informational, not investment advice.
Near-term read — probability, range, evidence
WTI crude is a close call over the next 7 days: 52.1% chance of a higher close means the evidence is only slightly tilted, not high-conviction.
The forecast swing band is -2.7% to +5.8% over 7 days. This is the model's comparable-history zone, not a price target. The upside side of the band is wider, so the read has a positive payoff skew even when the headline probability is close to balanced.
The history anchor uses 1,008 comparable 7-day windows; the base rate was 50.1% higher before today’s factors were applied. Status: live tracking started; not enough resolved calls yet.
Today’s tilt came mainly from price behavior, the scenario graph, the news mesh after discounting weak headlines, cross-asset relationships. Each forecast is saved and later scored, so this number will earn calibration over time instead of pretending certainty today.
