Public trading strategy
Oil prices tumbling on Iran peace — short the energy drop on USO
Thesis
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important shipping lanes for oil in the world. With it reopening, millions of barrels of oil will flow freely again, creating a sudden oversupply just as the fear-driven demand drops. Basic economics dictates that when supply floods the market, prices fall. This makes oil-related investments highly vulnerable to further drops in the coming days.
Strategy approach
Build a short strategy on USO using the Daily timeframe. Enter a short position when price breaks and closes below the previous day's low. Exit with a 3% stop loss or a 6% take profit, with a maximum hold of 10 trading days.
