Brent futures have bounced sharply higher this week defining a key support at $35.74, Nov 2 low. Price has tested the key resistance zone between $41.10 and $42.18, the 20- and 50-day EMAs. Clearance of this entire zone would strengthen a bullish condition and signal scope for a stronger recovery. A return lower would refocus attention on support at $35.74, where a break would mark a resumption of the downtrend.
