Brent futures remain offered and the contract is trading sharply lower again today. The move lower has resulted in a break of support at $87.52, the Oct 18 low. This reinforces the current bearish theme and paves the way for a move towards $85.33 next, a Fibonacci retracement. A break of this level would signal scope for weakness towards $80.94 further out, the Sep 26 low and a bear trigger. Initial firm resistance is at $93.33, the 20-day EMA.
