Oil surges as Iran conflict disrupts shipping lanes — ride the energy momentum
Thesis
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil supplies, and active conflict combined with new shipping tolls is directly threatening that supply chain. Oil has already seen its biggest two-day jump in four months, and this kind of geopolitical risk premium doesn't fade overnight. As long as the blockade and attacks persist, energy producers and the commodity itself should continue to ride a wave of supply fear.
Strategy approach
Create a momentum strategy for crude oil (CL=F or USO). Enter long when the asset closes above its 10-day high on a 1-hour (H1) chart. Exit if the asset closes below the 10-day low or after a 15% price gain from the entry point. Allow a maximum hold of 14 days.
