WASHINGTON: U.S. oil may break a support at $48.51 and fall to the next support at $47.92 per barrel, as suggested by its wave pattern and a Fibonacci retracement analysis. For a chart: http://tmsnrt.rs/2f741E2 The drop on Tuesday was driven by wave d, the fourth wave of a bigger wave C from the July 10 low of $43.65. This wave is capable of extending into a range of $50.93-$52.18, formed by its 138.2 percent and the 161.8 percent Fibonacci projection levels. The current correction may be similar to the former one from the July 20 high of $47.55, which reversed about 61.8 percent of the preceding uptrend from the $43.65. Another Fibonacci retracement analysis on the uptrend from the July 24 low of $45.40 to the Aug. 1 high of $50.43 suggests a target at $47.92, around which, the fifth wave of the wave C will start and drive the price towards $50.43. A break above $49.24 could lead to a gain into the range of $49.70-$50.08. For this report in Chinese, click: * Use EIKON “Alerts” to get reports sent to your email box automatically.
