: This chart perfectly captures the chaos in oil markets over the last 48 hours.
Ceasefire optimism triggered a historic sell-off, with oil crashing nearly 20% in one move — one of the biggest drops in years
Then reality hit.
The Strait of Hormuz remains heavily restricted, with shipping activity near standstill and hundreds of vessels stuck, keeping supply tight
That’s why every headline is now moving oil violently:
• Ceasefire → panic selling
• Hormuz disruption → sharp rebound
• Diplomacy headlines → instant pullbacks
Oil even pushed back toward $100 again as supply fears dominated sentiment
This isn’t normal market behavior.
This is pure headline-driven volatility where geopolitics is dictating price in real time.
Every update is now a trade trigger.
