SINGAPORE: US oil may break support at $84.21 per barrel and fall further towards $81.68 as its consolidation above this support seems to be ending.

Support has formed around the 61.8 percent Fibonacci projection level of a downward wave C, the third wave of a three-wave cycle that developed from the June 20 high of $107.73.

The rebound triggered by support failed to extend above resistance at $86.25, the 50 percent level, indicating a prevailing bearish market sentiment and an intact downtrend.

Strategically, the break below $84.21 will be confirmed when oil drops to its Oct. 10 low of $83.59. A break above $86.25 will open the way towards $88.29, the 38.2 percent level.
