3. Key Support and Resistance Levels (WTI, USD / barrel)

Resistance Levels

First resistance: 106.00 (Friday high, strong resistance)
Second resistance: 108.00 (previous oscillation high, psychological level)
Third resistance: 110.00 (integer level, geopolitical escalation target)

First support: 103.00 (breakthrough on Friday, short-term strong support)
Second support: 100.00 (integer level, bullish defense line)
Third support: 98.00–96.13 (early-week starting zone, important bottom)
4. Core Drivers
Geopolitical (main engine): Tensions in the Middle East, US-Iran negotiations breaking down, increased Strait of Hormuz shipping risks, risk premium continues to rise.

Significant inventory drawdowns: US EIA crude oil inventories decreased by 4.31M barrels in a single week, three consecutive weeks of drawdowns, supply-demand gap widening.

OPEC+ ongoing production cuts: Maintaining voluntary reductions, supply side rigid contraction.
Weakening USD + Rate Cut Expectations: Fed rate cut expectations rising, USD index retreating, benefiting commodities.
5. Market Outlook (Short-term 1–2 weeks)
Trend assessment: Bullish dominance, high-level oscillation leaning strong. Geopolitical risks unresolved, low inventories, OPEC+ cuts, mid-term support remains.

Key scenarios:
Optimistic: Escalation of geopolitical conflicts → test 108–110.

Neutral: High-level oscillation, correction with support at 103/100, stabilization still leaning bullish.
Pessimistic: Geopolitical easing + USD strengthening → deep correction to 98–96, but mid-term bullish structure remains intact.

Trading strategy: Focus on buying dips, adjust on breakdowns; partial profit-taking at 106–108, defend at 100. $USDJPY
