Brent futures have retraced part of the rally between Dec 2 - 9. A deeper retracement would signal scope for a test of support at $69.24, the Dec 3 low. The major support is at the Dec 2 low of $65.72. On the upside, clearance of $76.70, Dec 9 high and $76.79, the 50-day EMA would reinstate a bullish focus and open $80.42, the Nov 26 low. Moving average studies are in a bear mode. This suggests the broader trend direction is down.
