Oil Prices Fall to $72.69 as Strait of Hormuz Normalizes

News of normalization in the Strait of Hormuz is reducing supply concerns, putting pressure on oil prices. Technical indicators also support this decline: the RSI is approaching oversold territory at 37.6, while the MACD is below the signal line and in negative territory. The price is trading below the 20- and 50-day moving averages, indicating short-term weakness. However, the RSI entering oversold territory could trigger some buying on dips, so the pace of the decline may remain limited.
