Brent futures traded higher last week. Recent gains are considered corrective and a downtrend remains intact. Note that the downtrend is oversold. A stronger recovery would allow this condition to unwind. The 20-day EMA has been breached. The next resistance to watch is $76.55, the 50-day EMA. A reversal lower would refocus attention on the key support and bear trigger at $68.68, the Sep 10 low.
