TRIGGER — MCX Crude crossed the 3% single-session move threshold, printing ₹8894/bbl (+3.06%), activating Hawk-Scan protocol.
PRICE — ₹8894/bbl · +3.06% · SURGING
SIGNAL — WTI front-month spiked to $92.66 on supply-shock repricing, consistent with OPEC+ compliance signals compressing available export barrels into a thin Asian-session bid.
CROSS-ASSET — MCX Nat Gas is confirming the energy bid at ₹280.90 (+1.26%), while MCX Silver's ▼2.06% drop to ₹270,698 signals rotation out of metals into energy.
IMPORT COST — $92.66 × ₹95.24 × 1.01 (customs/cess multiplier) = ₹8,910/bbl MCX parity; current ₹8,894 trades marginally at discount.
TECHNICAL — Day resistance sits at ₹8,980, with 20-SMA at ₹9,276 overhead; immediate support at ₹8,749 (day low), then ₹8,568 (week low).
WATCH — ₹8,980 (day high/resistance): a close above historically precedes extension toward ₹9,441 next resistance; failure there reinforces the 20-SMA ceiling at ₹9,276.
