After spending the month of September oscillating between $90 per barrel and $95 per barrel, crude has resumed its downward trend.

Looking at the monthly chart of front-month futures data, you can see that price has broken lower from the triangle pattern formed over the last three years.  The current prices in the low/mid $80’s are the lowest of this year on a front-month basis.
