SINGAPORE: US oil may rise into a range of $59.95-$60.50 per barrel, following the completion of a three-wave cycle from $62.27.

A triple-bottom could be developing around $57.50. It will be confirmed when oil goes above $62.27. Even if this pattern turns out to be a flat consolidation within a range, oil is still likely to rise towards $62.27.

Support is at $58.73, a break below which could cause a fall to $57.63. On the daily chart, oil found a support at $57.88 again. Chances are it may consolidate in a range of $57.88-$61.74 for a few days.

A break below $57.88 will be a very bearish signal that the downtrend from $67.98 could have resumed towards $51.64-$55.50 range.
