Prices pulled lower into last week’s close and have struck a more consolidative, neutral tone since. Previous strength appears to have paused, rather than reversed, meaning bullish conditions remain intact over the medium-term. 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.
