Prices pulled lower across the Friday session and remain on the soft side through the Monday open. Over the more medium-term, however, bullish conditions remain intact and the contract traded higher last week. Recent gains resulted in a move above resistance at $78.47, the Jun 5 high. The continuation higher signals scope for a climb towards $82.06, a Fibonacci retracement. Key near-term support has been defined at $75.03, the Jul 6 low. A break of this level is required to signal a possible top.
