SINGAPORE: US oil is expected to test $86.25 per barrel, as it has broken support at $88.29.

The support was provided by the 38.2 percent Fibonacci projection level of a downward wave C, the third of a three-wave cycle that developed from the June 20 high of $107.73.

The next support will be at $86.25, the 50 percent level, a break below which will led to a further loss towards the 61.8 percent level at $84.21.

A break above $88.29, now a resistance, could mean a further gain to the 23.6 percent level at $90.82.
