Crude Oil: Recent Price Movement Shows a bit of a Bearish Market

NYMEX:CL1!   Light Crude Oil Futures
Last month, crude oil has reached a high of 130.00 level, surpassing the highs back in 2011. Although fundamentals point to a bullish market, technicals show a bit of a bearish market. After price reaching a high of 130, a bearish impulse immediately took place, dropping the price back to $94 level. From there, we can see that price has consolidated and formed a descending triangle pattern.

As of now, buyers should look for at least a breakout of the pattern to the upside, perferably supported by strong bullish candles. Sellers should look for a breakout of $94 bottom level, which is the criteria for a bearish continuation.

Trade with care because any new sudden announcement from the government or news from the war could easily shake this market with big volatility.
