Chart alert: WTI crude oil bullish breakout above $78.10/barrel in play
WTI crude oil has rallied nearly 19% since late February, breaking a long-term downtrend and reaching a 14-month high near $78. Escalating geopolitical tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, alongside fears of disruption at the Strait of Hormuz, have amplified supply risks. With bullish momentum intact, markets are watching whether prices can break above $78.10 to target the $80–$84 range.

Can Iran fully block the Strait of Hormuz?
Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have pushed energy prices higher, but markets remain relatively calm as a full blockade by Iran is seen as unlikely. Asian economies would be most exposed to disruptions in oil flows. While global oil supply buffers could temporarily stabilize the market, prolonged conflict could significantly increase energy prices and shipping costs.
