SINGAPORE: US oil is expected to retrace further to $81.70 per barrel and then rise towards $82.89 as indicated by its wave pattern and a Fibonacci retracement analysis.
The sharp gain from the Oct. 16 low of $79.78 was driven by a wave (4), the fourth wave of a five-wave cycle that developed from the Sept. 30 high of $94.90.
This wave will consist of three waves, so far, only the first wave labelled a has completed around resistance at $84.81, the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement on the fall from the Oct. 1 high of $92.96 to $79.78.
The second wave, the wave b, is half-completed, and may extend to $81.70, the 14.6 percent level. This wave will be either partially or fully reversed by an upward wave c, which could travel to $82.89, the 23.6 percent level, or to $84.81.
