SINGAPORE: Brent oil may fall to $59.92 per barrel, as it could have completed an uptrend from the Dec. 26, 2018 low of $49.93.

The trend consists of five waves. The fifth wave labeled (5) became a failed wave, as it did not travel above the Jan. 21 high of $63.15, which is the peak of the wave (3). It is clearer that the orthodox top of the trend is at the Jan. 30 high of $62.67.

Resistance is at $62.50, only a break above which could confirm the extension of the uptrend.

On the daily chart, a tiny head-and-shoulders is forming below a key resistance at $63.96, the 38.2 retracement on the uptrend from $27.10 to $86.74. Small as it is, the pattern strongly suggests the end of the bounce from $49.93.
