On March 31, it slipped slightly to $104.34.
'This is the range that we see oil sitting in, with a few provisos, for the next fortnight. There will be buyers if oil breaks down below $130, look for resistance levels at $130, then down at $129.41, $128.80 and a major barrier at around $127.49.'
'Were oil to push its way down past $127.49 then the next big marker point would be $124.15. Nothing in the market looks as if it can justify this set of events.'
