Oil Respected The Area - It Bounced Back. WHAT NOW?Crude Oil FuturesNYMEX:CL1!YMagnifyMy update on OIL My previous analysis is found on my profile here. Oil bounced back in the mentioned area. Let me explain. WTI peaked at $92.19 on July 24 — highest since early June, driven by Houthi attacks on Saudi tankers and the threat of a Bab al-Mandeb blockade. Then the US paused strikes on Iran over the weekend. Oil dropped nearly 15% in three days to around $79. Then Iran launched a surprise ballistic missile attack on US forces in Iraq. Oil bounced back to $83. Every one of those moves tracked the Fibonacci grid on this chart. The structure mapped the exact zones where the market found buyers and sellers each time. This market has two components running simultaneously and they pull in different directions. The geopolitical premium — which evaporates on any ceasefire headline — and genuine physical tightness that has nothing to do with Iran. The API draw of 3.3M barrels and below-average seasonal inventory levels mean the floor at $74.38 is structural, not just technical. That distinction matters when you're sizing exposure around news events. Escalation scenario Iran-Jordan clash spreads. Hormuz disruption confirmed. Houthi attacks on Saudi Eastern Province succeed. RBC worst-case: Brent $128–146. $96.66 breaks on intraday gap. De-escalation scenario Doha talks produce a framework agreement. Hormuz fully reopens. War premium unwinds. IEA 3.7M bpd surplus projection comes back into focus. Physical tightness slows the fall at $74. Life + Follow here YMagnify if you find this useful for your financial plan. Always check disclaimers.
