A bearish theme in Brent futures remains intact and short-term gains are considered corrective. The recent sell-off resulted in a break of $82.20, the 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 open $77.21, the Jul 17 low. On the upside, initial firm resistance has been defined at $87.80, the Nov 3 high.
