Consolidation continues on Light Crude Oil

Light crude oil or WTI continues in a tight consolidation with the 44.00 level acting as a very good support. To the upside, the 55 day exponential moving average (purple line) has acted as a good resistance, not allowing the price to break above that zone. The highs of the daily candles appear to be lower than the previous ones, forming what it appears to be a descending triangle. During a descending triangle formation the energy accumulates at the lower support line, making it more probable to break to the downside. If the price breaks below the 44.00 level, then the bearish momentum may take it to the 40.00 level. To the upside, the 50.00 level could act as a resistance.
