As of September 2, 2026, the mainstream isooctanol production enterprises in China have collectively increased their quotations. The average difference indicator shows that the current isooctanol is in a strong rebound and oscillation pattern with a bullish bias. The price is at a high level within the past year's cycle, and the short-term upward space is constrained by the high position. Attention should be paid to the changes in supply and demand at both upstream and downstream ends.

II. Signal State Determination
The combination of three divided differences with changing directions is (+, +, -), which constitutes a strong rebound (bullish, rebound nature) signal.
III. Trend Direction Conclusions
The current price trend is oscillating. Reason: The change in direction of the three averages compared to the previous day is not entirely consistent, which meets the criteria for an oscillating market. Overall, it is a rebound trend with a bullish bias. From a fundamental perspective, on September 2, major manufacturers in Shandong such as Hualu Hengsheng, Luxi Chemical, and Lihua Yi raised their prices for 2-ethylhexanol by 100-200 CNY per ton. The strengthening of upstream propylene prices provides cost support, and stable demand for downstream plasticizers such as DOP and DBP also offers some positive influence on the prices.
4. Spatial Reference
Isobutanol prices in China over the past year have been at the 5th level out of 5 levels (a high position), with limited room for further increases.
