WTI crude oil futures have surged above $100 per barrel in late March 2026, driven primarily by a U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran since February 28 that has severely disrupted flows through the Strait of Hormuz—choking roughly 15-20% of global supply—and prompted partial shutdowns in Middle East production. This geopolitical risk premium has overshadowed bearish factors like a surprise 6.9 million barrel U.S. crude inventory build reported March 25 and OPEC+'s planned April output hike of 206,000 barrels per day. EIA forecasts U.S. production steady at 13.6 million b/d, with prices potentially easing below $80/b by Q3 if tensions de-escalate. Traders eye key catalysts: April 1 EIA inventories, an April 6 U.S. deadline on Iranian energy strikes, and ceasefire negotiations for volatility into April.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point during April 2026, any 1-minute candle for the Active Month of WTI Crude Oil futures has a final "High" price equal to or above the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
For WTI futures, the active month refers to the nearest listed contract month. The active month changes at 6:00:00 PM ET at the start of the trading session two business days prior to that contract's last trading day, at which point the next listed contract becomes the active month.
For WTI Crude Oil (CL) futures, the last trading day is defined as three business days prior to the 25th calendar day of the month preceding the contract's delivery month, consistent with CME contract specifications.
Only prices achieved during the applicable trading session for the underlying market will be considered. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours as listed on Pyth.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If the Active Month contract does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No".
In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the underlying market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.

Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter.
