Brent futures are trading closer to their recent highs and a corrective cycle remains in play. Resistance to watch is $80.51, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this EMA is required to signal a stronger reversal. On the downside, a reversal lower would signal the end of the correction and refocus attention of the key support and bear trigger at $72.29, the Dec 13 low. A break of this level would open $71.45 next, the Jun 23 low.
