WTI is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($3.50) and 200-day ($2.87) moving averages. An RSI of 59.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +109.7% compares to +20.4% for SPY (beat the market by 89.3%). The current 27.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
