Brent futures traded lower Wednesday. The broader trend condition is bullish and recent short-term weakness still appears to be a correction. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a rising trend. Key support lies at $82.20, the Oct 6 low. A resumption of gains would refocus attention on the bull trigger at $93.20, the Sep 28 high. For bears, a break of $82.20, would instead highlight a short-term top and stronger reversal.
