1. The geopolitical risks driven by the US-Iran conflict are well known to be quickly easing. The most direct reason for this round of oil price increase is the US-Iran conflict. At this point, the conflict has rapidly progressed from a stalemate stage to a stage of “possibly ending.” Just today, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said at a press conference that the “Epic Fire” military operation that the U.S. launched against Iran at the end of February this year has ended. Trump also announced a pause of the “Freedom Plan” (i.e., the action in which the U.S. military assists ships in crossing the Strait of Hormuz) and said that the U.S. has made major progress toward reaching a comprehensive and final agreement with Iran. The core pillar supporting the current high oil prices has loosened.
2. Clear expectations of increased supply will reverse the supply-and-demand picture. Signals of increased production from oil-producing countries have been released. The 8 major oil-producing countries in OPEC+ have decided to raise their daily output by 206,000 barrels starting in May, and there are plans for further production increases in June as well.
My betting strategy is: when the situation between the US and Iran becomes tense again and crude oil prices rise, I bet that the crude oil price will fall back to 80.
Isn't that a bit counterintuitive? Let's break down the logic.
First, current oil prices already imply a certain risk premium.
In other words—"bad news has already been priced in."
Second, what can truly push oil prices above $120 is never conflict, but:
👉 supply disruptions + persistent panic
And at the moment, the situation in the Middle East looks more like "manageable tension," with all parties playing a game, but no one really wants to block the oil tankers.
Looking at the capital situation:
* Global liquidity is tight
* The Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations are fluctuating
👉 Commodities are hard to break out of a one-sided bull market
Betting strategy:
* Main bet on $80 (rebound logic)
* Secondary bet on $110 (to prevent being proven wrong)
* Avoid $130 (pure emotional play)
To sum up in one sentence:
The most expensive thing in the market is never oil, but your imagination of panic.
Why not higher? Because the most expensive thing in the market right now isn't oil, but "sentiment."
The situation in the Middle East is indeed tense, but the market has long learned one thing: geopolitical conflicts ≠ supply disruptions.
In the past few years, from Hormuz to the Red Sea, the story has been one wave after another, but oil price reactions have become increasingly "rational and restrained."
In other words: news is escalating, but the market is immune.
Looking at the fundamentals—
Global demand hasn't exploded, China's recovery is moderate, and Europe and America are still in a "slow recovery with high interest rates."
And on the supply side? OPEC+ controls production, but U.S. shale oil is like an perpetual motion machine; whenever prices rise, they work overtime like crazy.
This leads to one result:
👉 Oil prices can go up, but it's hard to get out of control.
My suggested betting strategy:
* Main position bet on $110 (highest probability)
* Small hedge position on $120 (black swan protection)
* Abandon $130 (high odds but too low probability)
In one sentence:
The market isn't afraid to rise, but there's no need to go crazy.
