Bloomberg Analysis: Oil Breaks Resistance, May Climb to $90
Crude oil has breached a key resistance level of $76.28 a barrel, giving it the “capacity” to rise to just under $90 based on Fibonacci retracements, Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. said. Oil, which is trading near a one year high in New York, is “taking a pause” to consolidate before moving up toward $89.85 a barrel, said Geoff Clear, the Singapore based head of Asian commodities at ANZ.
“We saw a break above $76.28 a barrel, that was the big ‘break up’ level,” Clear said. “We’re in a new range.” Crude prices have surged 83 percent since March 5 while the Dollar Index, which tracks the currency against those of six major U.S. trading partners, has fallen 16 percent since then. The sliding U.S. dollar and a recovery in equity markets prompted investors to buy commodities as an inflation hedge.
Crude may encounter its next resistance level at $83.60, according to Clear. “If we start to get close to the $83.60 level, it’s the next targeted Fibonacci retracement that I can see in the market,” Clear said. “Prices will do a bit of work below $83.60 initially, and then we’ll go on from there”.....Read the entire article.
