Brent futures maintain a short-term bullish tone and the contract is holding on to the bulk of its recent gains. A continuation higher would refocus attention on key short-term resistance at $87.00, the Jan 3 high where a break is required to strengthen bullish conditions. The broader trend direction remains down and a reversal lower would instead highlight a resumption of the trend and this would expose the bear trigger at $75.64, the Dec 9 low.
