On the 4-hour timeframe Crude Oil is forming a symmetrical triangle pattern, where price is compressing between a rising support trendline and a descending resistance trendline following a strong bullish impulse. This structure reflects a period of consolidation and decreasing volatility, typically preceding a decisive breakout. Given that the prior trend was upward and both the 100-period and 200-period simple moving averages are trending higher, with the 100 positioned above the 200, the broader market structure remains bullish. The 100 SMA is also acting as dynamic support, reinforcing the lower boundary of the triangle.



Momentum indicators as the Relative Strength Index is holding around 60, indicating sustained bullish pressure without entering overbought conditions. As price approaches the apex of the triangle, the likelihood of a breakout increases. A confirmed move above the descending resistance near 106 would suggest continuation of the prior uptrend, with potential upside toward the 116.30 resistance level.

Conversely, a breakdown below the ascending support and the 100 SMA near 95 would invalidate the bullish structure and could lead to a deeper correction toward the 84.90 support zone.
