Oil crashes on peace deal but expert says shipping won't normalize for months —

Thesis
Markets always overreact to the headlines. Everyone is dumping oil stocks today assuming the ceasefire means cheap oil is here to stay. But if the shipping lane doesn't actually normalize until the end of the year like the experts predict, the panic selling is overdone. Oil prices likely overshot to the downside and energy stocks are currently too cheap, setting up a contrarian bounce as reality sets in over the next few weeks.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters short USOIL (WTI Crude) on the H4 timeframe when price is below the 50-period EMA and the 14-period RSI crosses below 55, confirming the short-term downtrend. Exit the trade with a 3% profit target or a 2% stop loss.
