WASHINGTON: For more technical analyses, click SINGAPORE, Aug 7 (Reuters) – U.S. oil may break a resistance at $49.70 per barrel and rise into a range of $50.08-$50.43, as suggested by its wave pattern and a Fibonacci retracement analysis. For a chart: http://tmsnrt.rs/2fkM4Sv The resistance is identified as the 14.6 percent Fibonacci retracement of the uptrend from the July 24 low of $45.40 to the Aug. 1 high of $50.43.
The correction from this high seems to have completed, as it could be broken down into three waves. The third wave, labelled c, is shorter than the first wave, labelled a. This relation is acceptable given that the preceding uptrend from $45.40 looks sharp. However, it is critical for oil to stay above a support at $49.24, as a break below this could signal an extension of the correction towards $48.51.
