I need to adjust my shorting strategy for WTI and Brent right now.
First, I shorted WTI at $75.5 on CLUSDT.
Then, I shorted Brent at $80 on BZUSDT.
I was originally planning to short WTI again at $78, but I’ll hold off for now.
After the U.S. announced fees for the Hormuz Strait, the overall trend seems a bit off. Plus, the U.S. has re-blocked Iranian ports, so I’ll need to observe further before placing the second short.
Currently, the liquidation prices for both orders are above $90. If oil prices keep rising, I might increase the margin to over $100.
I’m honestly a bit confused about what the U.S. is trying to do here. A 20% fee is clearly beyond a reasonable range—even Iran wouldn’t charge such a high price.
This move by the U.S. feels entirely provocative. If it were a 2% fee, that would still make sense, but 20% is just too unlikely. So, I’m planning to wait and see for now.
