Recently, the price of 2-ethylhexanol has been rising for several consecutive days. On August 11, 2026, the average difference indicator showed a clear upward signal. The current price is in the high range of the 1-year cycle and the 60-day cycle. There is sufficient short-term upward momentum, but there may be pressure for a correction at the high level. It is necessary to closely monitor changes in plant operations and downstream demand in China.
I. Table of Mean Difference Changes
| Average Difference Type | Today's Value (2026-08-11) | Yesterday's Value (2026-08-10) | Direction of Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-day Average Difference (D5) | 69.99 | 63.33 | + |
| 10-day Average Difference (D10) | 143.34 | 113.34 | + |
| 20-day Average Difference (D20) | 3.33 | -5 | + |
II. Signal State Determination
The three mean differences all showed the same direction of change as the previous day and were all positive, indicating a clear upward signal.
III. Trend Direction Conclusions
The price trend is clearly upward. Reason: The 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day average differences compared to the previous day are all positively changed, which meets the criteria for a clear upward trend according to the average difference method; from the spot market perspective, major isooctanol producers in China such as Shandong Hualu Hengsheng, Luxi Chemical, and Shandong Lihuayi have recently continuously increased their factory prices, providing strong support from the spot end, further confirming the upward trend.
4. Spatial Reference
60-day price cycle position: High, with limited upside potential.
Price position for the 3-month cycle: Mid-to-high level
1 year cycle price position: mid-high
The current price is in the high range of the 60-day cycle, and the space for further significant short-term increases is limited, so there is a need to be cautious of the risk of a pullback from the high levels; the 1-year and 3-month cycles are in the mid-high range, and there is still some basis for upward movement overall, but it is necessary to continuously monitor the marginal changes in supply and demand as well as the demand transmission situation for downstream products such as 2-ethylhexanoic acid in China.
