Brent may retest support at $78.73

March 14 (Reuters) – Brent crude may retest support at $78.73 a barrel, with a break below that could open the way to $77.31.

A sharp rebound from support is seen as a pullback to a bearish wedge that has been confirmed and suggests a $76 target.

The pullback may have ended around $82.45. The wave pattern indicates the development of wave c, which is expected to reach $77.31, slightly above $76.

Immediate resistance is at $81.03, a break above could lead to $81.91. On the daily chart, oil broke the $80.72 support level and passed another support at $77.56.

This break marks a landslide for the Bears in the Showdown Zone for $80.72. Both the bearish flag and wave (C) continuation from $125.19 have been confirmed.

The wedge suggests a target of $57.95. The rapid rebound from Monday’s low of $78.34 may be due to the retraction of the flag.
