The Middle East currently resembles a barrel filled with gunpowder, ready to explode at any moment. Israel and Iran continue to attack each other—Israel bombed Iran's nuclear facilities, while Iran fired missiles at Israeli cities. More worryingly, the U.S. may decide to join the conflict within the next two weeks, and five U.S.-UK aircraft carriers are converging on the Middle East, akin to lighting a match beside the powder keg. However, Iran has also held talks with European nations in Geneva, stating that if Israel halts its attacks first, it is willing to discuss nuclear issues. This creates a paradox: while the risk of war grows, there is also hope for negotiations—similar to two market factions, one fearing war will drive oil prices higher, and the other believing talks could push prices down.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transport corridor, sees massive oil shipments pass through daily. Iran has repeatedly threatened to block the strait, and if it does, oil prices could skyrocket like a rocket. So far, however, Iran has not taken such action, and the market is watching closely to see if it will.
Trading Strategy
If oil prices rebound to the $74.5–$75 range and candlestick charts show prices stalling (forming consecutive long upper shadows) with trading volume decreasing rather than increasing, consider opening light short positions with 25% of funds. When prices retreat to $73.5, close 40% of short positions to take profits. If prices continue to fall, hold the remaining short positions for a target of $72.5. However, if prices break through $76, immediately trigger a stop loss to prevent further losses from a potential upward trend.
