Improved outlook for fuel demand on tightness in supply and accelerating economic recovery on increased vaccination, underpin the action.

Bulls eye pivotal Fibo barrier at $73.44 (61.8% of 114.80/$6.52, 2011/2020 downtrend) break of which would generate strong bullish signal and expose 2018 peak at $76.88.
Initial supports lay at 70.70/40 (session low/rising 5DMA) with dips to be ideally contained at $70.00/$69.60 (broken psychological barrier/rising 10DMA).
Res: 71.55; 72.00; 72.38; 73.44.
Sup: 70.70; 70.40; 70.00; 69.60.
