Does the Oathbow count as a magical source of damage to bypass resistance/immunity to nonmagical attacks?

While it is in the Magic Items section of the DMG, it does not actually state that it is a magical weapon like they did with the Sword of Sharpness.

I was going to answer this but I see now that it is marked as a duplicate. Important things in this argument: A Bow is a weapon, and attunement is limited to magic items, thus Oathbow is a magic weapon. I don't think that the other question and answer use this logic though. Feel free to add it to your new answer over there. – Slagmoth Aug 03 '18 at 18:23

@Slagmoth That's a good point, but to counter the Moon-touched weapons from Xanathar's don't require attunement and also don't state they're magical. I'm worried that adding that (which was a great idea) will muddy the issue more than it needs to. – NotArch Aug 03 '18 at 18:25
