U.S. oil 
CL1! may retrace into a range of $75.97 to $76.86 per barrel, following its failure to break a resistance at $77.97.
The failure reflects an exhaustion of the rise from $72.16. Hourly RSI fell from the Monday high of $78.22, which further suggests an overbought market status.
Either the rise itself or its first round has completed. A break above $77.97 may lead to a gain into $78.74-$79.77 range.
On the daily chart, the current bounce is expected to be as strong as the one from the Oct. 6 low of $81.50, to extend towards a target zone of $79.34 to $83.04.
However, with signals of exhaustion having formed on the hourly chart, market may experience a pullback towards $75.63, the former resistance.
The bounce may resume upon the completion of the pullback.
