USOIL (WTI) | Key Breakout Zone as Middle East Risk Drives Volatility
WTI crude remains highly volatile above $96, as supply disruptions and uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz continue to dominate sentiment.
While geopolitical risk still supports upside shocks, the market is technically approaching a major decision zone at 98.40, where the next trend may be determined.
Technically:
While below 98.40, bearish pressure may extend toward 92.30, and a break below that level could continue the downside toward 87.00.
However, a 1H or 4H close above 98.40 would confirm bullish breakout potential toward 105.20, with further upside toward 115.00 in an escalation scenario.
Key Levels:
Pivot Line: 98.40
Support: 92.30 – 87.00 – 77.00
Resistance: 105.20 – 115.00 – 120.20
