Crude Oil (WTI)西德州原油
The surge to $92 on Iran-US strike headlines is real but classically noisy — geopolitical oil spikes tend to partially retrace once the immediate shock is priced. With the 5-day position at 72% after the spike while the 20-day sits at just 26%, the momentum candle looks more like a wick than a breakout; the 60-day trend remains subdued. Fading this pop is the leaner trade.
