WTI Crude Forecast: Risk premium fades, supply pressures mount, bearish trend ahead
WTI crude oil prices have reversed sharply, falling 18% from their June highs as the geopolitical risk premium fades.

Technical signals suggest the recent three-month rebound has ended, with a bearish trend likely to extend toward key support levels at $60.55, $55.00, and $50.50/49.10 unless prices break above $68.80.
