Key insight
$100 psych level cracks on Wed pullback — bulls must reclaim $101.50 (Tuesday's intraday base) or risk flush to $96.80 200-day MA; Hormuz risk premium intact but fading fast.
Drops -2.12% to $99.53 after Tuesday's Hormuz-spike to $105+; Saudi East-West pipeline closure fails to hold gains as technical selloff accelerates.
Main risk
Strait of Hormuz escalation
Fresh tanker strikes Mon/Tue; any Hormuz closure re-ignites spike toward $110+ 52-wk highs, overriding all technical signals.
