This analysis is based on publicly available data for the moving average, mean difference, and price range of 2-ethylhexanol up to August 31, 2026. The short-term operating signal for 2-ethylhexanol in China is clear, with the mean differences in all three periods consistently trending downward. Coupled with the fact that the price is in a high range, there is significant downward pressure in the short term, and there is insufficient momentum for an upward trend.
1. Mean Difference Change Table
| Mean Difference Indicator | Value as of 2026.08.31 | Value as of 2026.08.30 | Direction of Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-day Mean Difference (D5) | -60 | -13.33 | - |
| 10-day Mean Difference (D10) | -46.67 | -43.34 | - |
| 20-day Mean Difference (D20) | 206.67 | 250 | - |
2. Signal Status Determination
The current signal is a clear sell signal.
3. Conclusion on Trend Directions
The short-term price trend is clearly downward. Reason: The changes in the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving average differences from the previous day are all negative, and their directions are completely consistent, which meets the criteria for a clear downward trend according to the moving average difference method. At the same time, from the perspective of manufacturer quotes, in late August, major manufacturers such as Luxi Chemical and Hualu Hengsheng in China continuously lowered their prices for 2-ethylhexanol, further confirming the weakening price trend.
4. Positional Spatial Reference
Isobutanol 60-day and 3-month cycle prices are both in the 5th tier (high), while the 1-year cycle price is in the 4th tier (upper-middle). The current upward price potential has been significantly compressed, and there is ample room for subsequent downward movement.
