Brent futures traded sharply lower last week and the contract remains closer to its recent lows. The latest sell-off has resulted in a break of support at $82.20, Oct 6 low and a bear trigger. This strengthens the current bear cycle and exposes $78.89 next, a Fibonacci retracement point. Clearance of this level would pave the way for an extension towards $77.21, the Jul 17 low. On the upside, initial firm resistance has been defined at $87.80, the Nov 3 high.
