BRENT TECHS
  • RES 4: $86.24 - High Jul 5

  • RES 2: $80.53/81.46 - High Aug 26 / 12 and key resistance

  • SUP 2: $74.64 - Low Feb 5
  • SUP 3: $73.16 - Low Dec 13 2023 and a key support
  • SUP 4: $70.35 - 1.382 proj of the Apr 12 - Jun 4 - Jul 5 price swing   

Brent futures have pulled back from last week’s high and the contract initially traded lower Monday. A continuation of the bear leg would expose $74.62, the Aug 5 low and a key support. Clearance of this level would mark a resumption of the downtrend that started in April. On the upside, a reversal higher would again refocus attention on the key short-term resistance at $81.46, the Aug 12 high.
