Chart alert: WTI crude oil at risk of mean reversion decline below $102.25 after 5% spike

Despite geopolitical risks, declining implied volatility and easing backwardation suggest limited upside. Technically, oil is testing range resistance near the 20-day moving average, with bearish signals pointing to a potential mean reversion decline toward $90.50 or lower unless $102.25 is decisively cleared.
