Bullish

Archived analysis from Aug 17, 2026, 3:34 AM

Key insight

$81.61 holds key round-number support after 5%+ weekly rally; Hormuz deadlock + US naval blockade of Iran sustain upside pressure toward $84.70 resistance.

Hormuz strait attacks on Abu Dhabi tankers keep supply-risk premium intact; WTI holds above $81 with $84.70–$86.50 resistance zone as next test.

Main risk

US-Iran Nuclear Deal / Hormuz Re-opening

Diplomatic breakthrough reopening Hormuz removes geopolitical risk premium; WTI could flush to $75–$76 support on ceasefire headlines.
