Demoted to medium priority

Update

Demoted to medium priority

  • Type: arc-transition (subtype: priority-demotion)
  • event_id: 2026-04-26-oil-200-scenario-demotion
  • Source: Perspective retrospective at 2026-04-26-perspective-retrospective
  • Shift: The named binary trigger ("Asian floating inventory <30M bbl + USO sustained > $130 + OPEC emergency") never broke. Demoted from base-case to tail risk. Reframed as a hedge against: (a) physical Hormuz shutdown, (b) non-Middle East coordinated supply shock, (c) Russia/Venezuela reversal.
  • Effect on thesis: Sizing collapses; perspective kept alive as a record-keeping vehicle.
  • Per-ticker: No directional change at this transition; the price action came in the next 5 days.
