Crude Oil Forecast: Descending Triangle Takes Shape. Now What?

283
WTI crude oil prices have been consolidating with a slight downward bias within a Descending Triangle chart pattern.

A breakout above the pattern could be a signal that the prior uptrend may resume towards the 78.6% Fibonacci extension at 80.57.

Still, a bearish 'Death Cross' between the 20- and 50-day SMAs offers a near-term downward bias.

The floor of the triangle seems to be between 65.10 and 66.39. A downside breakout would likely need confirmation. In such a case, keep a close eye on the 200-day SMA which may reinstate the dominant upside focus.
