Brent futures traded sharply higher Monday, marking an extension of the rebound from the Aug 21 low. The contract has since pulled back but is again moving higher. A stronger resumption of gains would refocus attention on the key short-term resistance at $81.46, the Aug 12 high. A break would highlight a stronger reversal. For bears, a steeper reversal lower would instead expose $74.62, the Aug 5 low and key support.
