On October 15, 2026, propylene oxide was in a mild correction phase under a volatile market trend, with signals leaning bearish.

1. Average Difference Variation Table
| Difference Type | Value on 2026.10.15 | Value on 2026.10.14 | Direction of Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Day Difference (D5) | 80.00 | 140.00 | - |
| 10-Day Difference (D10) | 273.33 | 293.33 | - |
| 20-Day Difference (D20) | 221.67 | 176.67 | + |
2. Signal Status Determination
When the three consecutive first‑order differences change in the sequence (-, -, +), it constitutes a mild pullback signal (bearish, of a corrective nature).
3. Trend direction conclusion
Currently, the price trend of propylene oxide is characterized by volatility. The rationale: the three moving averages did not all shift in the same direction compared to the previous day, failing to meet the criteria for a clear upward or downward move; thus, the market is in a mild pullback phase within an overall volatile range, with a bearish bias.
4. Positional Space Reference
Propylene oxide prices are at a high level (5th tier) for both 60-day and 3-month periods, and at a moderately high level (4th tier) for the 1-year period. There is limited room for short-term increases, and there is some pressure for a price correction.
