WTI crude oil prices have dropped to $96.21 after facing resistance near $105, as traders seem to be pricing in a stabilization in Middle East tensions. The market appeared overstretched, prompting some profit-taking ahead of a long weekend. Brent crude oil also eased but found support around the psychologically important $100 level, maintaining a bullish outlook. Both markets remain sensitive to geopolitical developments, with dips likely attracting buyers looking for value.
