Oil Stalls at $100 as Ceasefire Fade | Bear Flag Still in Play?

130
Oil back in chop mode around $100 as ceasefire talks stall and headlines keep shifting.

Iran rejecting the US proposal keeps risk premium elevated, while flows through Hormuz remain messy — that’s your floor for now.

On the flip side, US inventories keep building (5th straight week), with a big 6.9m barrel increase and softer exports. Not exactly screaming demand strength.

So you’ve got a market stuck between geopolitics and soft fundamentals.

Technically, nothing’s changed.

Price is still sitting inside that broader bear flag on the 4H. The recent grind higher looks corrective, not impulsive — more squeeze than breakout.

If talks stabilise or the market starts pricing de-escalation, that’s your trigger for a downside move as risk premium fades.

Until then → headline-driven chop inside structure.

Key watch:
– US-Iran tone shifts
– Hormuz / shipping updates
– Follow-through after inventory data
– Reaction at channel resistance
