Know if the move is real ->
Paths: Up if flows tighten, inventories draw, and cracks firm. Flat if balances stay mixed while the market waits. Down if supply risk fades, flows loosen, or demand softens. Cross-asset confirmation is mixed, so the next session matters more than the headline move alone.
