US oil to retest resistance at $89.33

By Reuters News

- US oil is expected to retest resistance at $89.33 per barrel, a break above which could lead to a gain into the $89.99-$91.84 range.

The resistance is identified as the 86.4% projection level of a wave c from $85.14, which is capable of travelling to its 100% projection level of $89.99.

The upside, however, may not be limited to $89.99, as the pattern from the November 10 low of $83.88 looks like a high-low bottom, which suggests a target of $91.84.

Support is at $87.52, a break below which may trigger a fall into the $85.14-$86.63 range. On the daily chart, a temporary bottom might be forming above the support zone of $83.45-$84.35.

Given that the market has briefly pierced above a resistance at $88.61, it may extend gains into the $90.52-$93.77 range.
