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

Brent futures are trading at their recent highs. The latest recovery is still considered corrective and a downtrend remains intact. Note that the recovery has allowed a recent oversold condition to unwind. The 20-day EMA has been breached. The next resistance to watch is $76.40, the 50-day EMA. A reversal lower would refocus attention on the key support and bear trigger at $68.68, the Sep 10 low.
