SINGAPORE: U.S. oil may drop to $58.23 per barrel, following its failure to rise above its March 21 high of $60.39.

The two highs around $60.39 suggest the development of a flat or the formation of a double-top. Both of these patterns indicate a further drop to $58.23, the 23.6 percent retracement of the uptrend from $51.23 to $60.39.

A break below $58.23 could confirm both the double-top and a target at $55.81. Should oil manage to stabilize around $58.23, the uptrend is likely to resume.

Signals on the daily chart are tricky, as oil is moving sideways around a resistance at $59.63, the 50 percent retracement of the downtrend from $76.90 to $42.36. It could have made two false breaks above this barrier.

A drop below its March 25 low of $58.17 could confirm a deep correction towards $55.55.
