Razan Hilal argues that WTI crude is bouncing from oversold conditions and key support near 73.50, but the move is likely only a short-term rebound unless price can reclaim 76.20, then 78, 80, and eventually 85. She ties the setup to Fibonacci levels plus event risk from U.S.-Iran peace progress, Strait of Hormuz flows, and ongoing geopolitical tensions.

Razan Hilal presents a mainly technical, near-term bullish rebound case for WTI crude oil, but she repeatedly frames it as potentially temporary within a broader downtrend. Her core point is that crude is rebounding from the 73.50 area because of oversold conditions and a mix of technical and fundamental support, including uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz, progress in U.S.-Iran peace talks, and inventory drawdowns. She says the rebound is testing prior support now turned resistance at 76.20, and that the market needs to hold above that zone to build toward the next resistance levels. She lays out a level-by-level roadmap using Fibonacci retracements. Above 76.20, she sees an initial target near 78, then 80 as a psychological level, with a break of 80.30 opening room toward 82.50 and then 84.70-85.00. …
Tactically bullish only while WTI holds 73.50 and can reclaim 76.20; otherwise the bounce looks like a countertrend move. Near-term headline risk from U.S.-Iran and Hormuz developments can quickly extend or erase the rebound.
Over the next several weeks, the base case is still a corrective bounce inside a broader decline unless crude clears 80.30 and then 85. A sustained failure back below 73.50 would revive the downside path toward the mid-to-high 60s.
Structurally, the transcript argues that oil remains a geopolitically sensitive market where supply shocks can override technical weakness. A durable bullish regime would require either renewed tension or a tighter global supply-demand balance, while easing Iran risk would reduce the strategic premium.
WTI crude oil's rebound from 7350 is a short-term move within a broader decline, not the start of a new uptrend.
The speaker frames the current bounce as corrective within an ongoing downtrend, citing momentum alignment and key resistance levels that would need to break to shift the outlook.
A sustained hold below 7350 on WTI crude oil would target the 61 dollar zone and potentially the 67 to 66 mark.
The speaker derives downside targets using Fibonacci extension from 2022 highs, 2025 lows, and 2026 highs, with 61 as the next key level and 67-66 as a further target.
Oversold conditions in WTI crude oil not seen since 2025 are supporting the current short-term bullish rebound.
The speaker cites weekly momentum oversold levels from 2025 as a technical justification for the bounce from the 7350 low.
