Brent futures have started the week on a bearish note. Futures have cleared support at $72.50, Dec 15 low and confirmed an extension of the pullback from $76.70, the Dec 9 high. The move lower has exposed $69.24, the Dec 3 low where a break would pave the way for a retest of key support at $65.72, Dec 2 low. On the upside, initial resistance is seen at $75.01, the 20-day EMA. A breach would ease the current bearish threat.
