Brent futures have pulled back from Tuesday’s high of $81.45 and this level represents a key short-term resistance. The reversal means that price has not remained above the 50-day EMA. This suggests that the corrective cycle between Dec 13 - 26 is over. The primary trend direction is down and a continuation lower would open $72.67, the Dec 13 low and bear trigger. Clearance of $81.45 is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
