WTI is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($3.82) and 200-day ($2.56) moving averages. An RSI of 43.0 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +109.3% compares to +22.9% for SPY (beat the market by 86.4%). The current 20.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
