WTI crude oil prices edged higher following news that Iran launched missiles at Israel in a direct attack, sparking fears of potential supply disruptions in the oil-rich Middle East region. The escalation of conflict has heightened concerns about stability in the region, with the risk of a broader war possibly threatening oil production and distribution, sending prices upward.
From a technical perspective, the price movement has played out exactly as predicted in our previous forecast, which can be seen in the following link:

In that analysis, we anticipated a rebound from a key demand area, driven by concerns over geopolitical tensions and possible oil supply disruptions from the conflict. As the situation between Israel and its neighboring countries intensifies, the fear of significant interruptions in oil supply is pushing prices higher.
Looking ahead, the bullish momentum in WTI is expected to continue, possibly driving prices above our initial take profit target. Traders should remain alert for further developments in the region, as any escalation could further fuel the upward pressure on oil prices, potentially leading to even more significant gains in the near term.
In conclusion, WTI prices are on an upward trajectory, fueled by the geopolitical risks stemming from the direct attack on Israel. Our technical forecast of a rebound from the demand zone has been validated, and with the ongoing threat of supply disruptions, the bullish outlook remains strong. Further gains could push WTI prices well beyond our take profit levels if the conflict persists.
