SINGAPORE: Brent oil may retest a resistance at $71.38 per barrel, a break could lead to a gain to $72.71.
The contract is believed to be riding on a powerful wave (3), which is travelling towards a range of $74.47-$75.55, formed by the 138.2% and the 161.8% projection levels of a wave C from $68.11.
A wedge has been confirmed as a bullish continuation pattern, suggesting a target around $75 as well.
The shallow correction triggered by the resistance at $71.38, the March 8 high, could be regarded as a moderate pullback towards the wedge.
