PRISM REASONING
  • Probability estimate: 37%
  • WTI spot at $97.63 gives a cushion above 88.99, but recent futures softness and short horizon still allow a pullback below the strike
FACTORS FOR
  • +Spot at $97.63 is $8.64 above threshold
  • +Only ~9.7% decline needed over three days to hold line
FACTORS AGAINST
  • Front‑month futures recently trading below 88.99 show weakness
  • Short‑term oil prices often move >5–10% on catalysts
RESOLUTION PATHS MODELED
Prices drift down but settle modestly above 88.9927%
