Oil at $80.86 and going nowhere fast — but the compression won't last forever 🛢️

WTI Crude is in full consolidation mode:
• RSI: 49.8 — dead neutral
• Price stuck between SMA10 ($80.09) and SMA20 ($82.49)
• Volume declining — the classic calm before the storm

The bearish pressure: global demand concerns, OPEC+ production uncertainty, and a strong dollar headwind.

The bullish case: geopolitical tensions haven't gone away, and $80 is historically a strong floor for WTI.

📋 Range play:
• Support: $70.44 (3-month swing low)
• Resistance: $96.60 (breakout level)
• Break of either side = significant move

For crypto traders: oil direction matters for inflation expectations → Fed policy → risk asset direction.

Oil: $70 or $100 first? What's your call? ⛽
