The trendline placed from March 16 low at 92.69, adjoining the March 18 low at $100.85 will continue to act as major support for the oil counter.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) is oscillating in a bullish range of 60.00-80.00, which signals more upside ahead.
Should the asset violate the March 10 high at $111.90, the placement of significant bids will push the oil prices higher to 61.8% Fibo retracement at $113.50. Breach of the latter will send the black gold to the round level at $115.00.
