Does this mean we should expect lots of consolidation and lowered volatility with a slight downward drift?
=========================
Usually, yes

, NYScal.
But frankly even a high probability rule which that maybe is ; never confuse high probility with infallible.
Oil has gone down over 77%/+, past 7 months[[uso/=+,similiar, markets are not exact anyway];
looks like an excellant trade- medium -multimonth scale in buy point.
Not because Citigroup/ commodity co bought a tanker full;
that mabe bearish with ''C'' many, many goofs, [again, see rule, top this post,LOL]
But whem MS, Royal Dutch Shell buy tanker fulls, 77% off,;
throw in a global war on terror, looks like good risk -reward.Islamics,Iran, Russa, Chavez hate Israel /USA more than they like their oil $upply. Mr. Buffet bought COP
True ,USO , oil is bearish, below 50 dma, 200 dma, so its early buy, word to wise ;
according to their prospectus, 10% is not a tracking error on USO crude contracts, its part of plan.Also they can trade gas, nat gas, heat oil, apparently 10% so it was never ''only crude contracts''.
Long or short, 120- page+/ USO prospectus is an excellant educational read on oil business, oil risks....................................

Not a stock tip or prediction.
