Data Explanation
The latest available data is up to October 12, 2026, and it is recommended to refer to real-time data.
1. Average Difference Change Table
| Difference Type | Value on 2026.10.12 | Value on 2026.10.11 | Direction of Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Day Difference | 20.00 | 127.50 | - |
| 10-Day Difference | 133.75 | 105.00 | + |
| 20-Day Difference | 45.87 | 32.37 | + |
2. Signal Status Determination
When the three consecutive divided differences change in the sequence (-, +, +), it constitutes a strong consolidation (bullish) signal.
3. Trend Direction Conclusion
The current price trend is volatile with a bullish bias. Reason: The direction of the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving average differences compared to the previous day is not entirely consistent, which meets the criteria for a volatile trend. Overall, it is in a strong consolidation phase with a bullish bias. Fundamentally, the tight supply of methanol upstream supports the cost, and the demand for gasoline blending downstream remains resilient. Although some manufacturers in Shandong slightly lowered their quotes on October 12, the overall price still remains at a high level.
4. Positional Spatial Reference
MTBE 60-day, 3-month, and 1-year cycle prices are all in the 5th tier (high, within the top 20% range of the cycle), with limited short-term upside potential.
