🧠 Crude Intentions 🛢️

Live futures tape shows WTI up modestly (+0.5%), giving a modest bullish bias (+1). Bandar (Strait of Hormuz) flipped to OPEN 22.3 h ago, a fresh bearish signal, scoring –3. EIA inventory draw adds +1. Oil Pig call is UP but its calibration is ≤35% reliable, so we count –1 against it. Total score = +1‑3+1‑1 = –2, below the |3| conviction threshold. With a bearish score we keep the existing short CL position and take no new trade.
