US oil may extend its gains into a range of $58.88-59.38 per barrel, driven by a wave.
This is the most powerful wave of a five-wave cycle from the January 22 low of $51.44. It is capable of travelling into the target zone, which is formed by the 338.2% and the 361.8%projection levels of an uptrend from $51.64.
Due to its fierce character, this wave is unlikely to be disrupted by any decent correction, until it unfolds to $59.38.
Support is at $57.24, a break below which may cause a dip into $$57.55-57.77 range. On the daily chart, a pennant suggests a target zone of $59.90-$60.73, formed by the 400% and the414.6% projection levels of an uptrend from $37.06.
