Oil price threshold alerts (WTI, Brent)

Tickerbot tracks WTI crude, Brent crude, and natural gas prices. Get alerts when oil crosses key levels — and combine oil price moves with energy equity filters.

Why oil alerts matter

Oil is the world's most important commodity. When WTI crosses $80 or $90, energy stocks (XLE) tend to outperform. When oil drops below $70, it's a headwind for producers and a tailwind for airlines and consumers.

Tickerbot tracks WTI crude, Brent crude, and natural gas prices updated continuously during trading hours. Set alerts on absolute price levels, percentage moves, or technical breakouts.

Example
WTI crude crosses above $85 per barrel
WTI $86.20/barrel, up 4% on supply concerns. Energy breakout.

Combining oil with energy equity conditions

Oil stocks work best when oil itself is rallying. The correlation isn't perfect — sometimes oil rises while energy stocks lag due to concerns about sustainability or capital allocation. But when both oil and energy equities are moving together, it signals a more durable trend.

Oil and equity confirmation example

Stack commodity thresholds with equity filters to catch the highest-conviction energy plays. When oil breaks through key levels and energy sector ETFs outperform the market, it confirms both supply/demand dynamics and investor appetite for energy exposure.

Example
WTI above $85 and XLE (energy sector ETF) outperforming SPY by 3%+
WTI $86.20. XLE +4.8% vs. SPY +1.2%. Energy leading.

Common variations you can build

  • Brent crude above $95 (global supply concerns)
  • Natural gas above $4/MMBtu (winter demand spike)
  • WTI/Brent spread widens above $5 (transatlantic arbitrage)
  • Oil down 5%+ in one day + airlines up (consumer tailwind)
