  • SUP 4: $63.24 - 2.00 proj of the Apr 12 - Jun 4 - Jul 5 price swing 

Brent futures remain in a clear downtrend and Wednesday’s sharp sell-off reinforces current conditions. The move lower confirms a resumption of the downtrend and maintains the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. Sights are on $67.63 next, a Fibonacci projection. Note that the downtrend is in oversold territory. A recovery - a correction - would allow this condition to unwind. Firm resistance is at $74.86, the 20-day EMA.
