A brief respite from loosened geopolitical tensions

USOIL's short-term trend is range-bound with a slight downward bias, with the $87-$93 range being the core battleground. Trading strategy should combine light-position swing trading with range trading, avoiding chasing highs and lows.

The best strategy at present is to think within a range – do not consider going long above 92.50, and look for shorting opportunities near 95, with targets at 90 or even 87. If the price falls back to around $87 with decreasing volume, it could be a good entry point for a short-term rebound, with a stop-loss below $85. Key news variables to watch out for include: the specific timetable for the next round of US-Iran negotiations, actual navigation data in the Strait of Hormuz, and this week's EIA inventory report. Even a few words on the news could cause oil prices to jump $2-3; the direction depends entirely on the bias of the news.
