Brent futures remain vulnerable despite the recovery from Monday’s low of $99.48. A recent failure to challenge resistance at $114.84, Apr 18 high and the move through the 50-day EMA Monday, which intersects at $102.80 today, signals potential for an extension lower. A clear break of the 50-day EMA would open $94.61, the Mar 16 low. Initial firm resistance is seen at $109.80.
