SINGAPORE: Brent oil may retest a support at $58.18 per barrel, a break below which could cause a fall to $57.67.
The support is identified as the 86.4% retracement of the uptrend from $57.67 to $61.41, working as the last barrier towards $57.67.
The current fall could be regarded as a part of the consolidation between $57.67 and $61.41, or a continuation of the downtrend from the July 31 high of $65.42. In either case, oil is likely to fall to $57.67.
Resistance is at $59.10, a break above which could lead to a gain limited to $59.54.
On the daily chart, oil is falling towards a support at $57.19, the 50% projection level of a downward wave (C) from $75.60. This wave (C) could travel into a range of $38.79-$52.85. A flag also suggests a target at $52.85.
