SINGAPORE: US oil looks exhausted while approaching a resistance zone of $104.50-$104.99 per barrel, and may start a deep correction soon.

The zone has been formed by the April 16 high of $104.99 and a resistance established by the upper trendline of a wedge.

The bearish divergence on the hourly RSI strongly suggests a slim chance of a break above the zone.

Most likely, oil will peak near this resistance zone and start a downtrend towards $100, a support provided by the lower trendline of the wedge. A drop to $103.50 could signal the reversal of the uptrend.

A valid break above the zone will be confirmed when oil stands firm above $105.
