On daily chart, the black gold is in upside correction after the sharp drop which started in May. The first resistance is seen at $92.10, followed by $95.65, which are 50.0% and 61.8% fibo retracements, respectively. On the downside, supports are expected around $83.50 and $81.50, before reaching the recent bottom at $77.28.
On a fundamental view, the Fed Chairman Bernanke increased the bullish sentiment among investors by ruling out a double dip recession during his testimony in front of House Financial Services Committee in the Congress. Additional support for the crude oil was caused by U.S. oil inventories decline which signaled for a recovering demand in the world’s largest consumer. The rising tension between Iran and the west is also in favor of the crude oil prices.
