Brent futures failed to hold on to Friday’s high and price remains below key short-term resistance at $81.45, Dec 26 high. The outlook is bearish and moving average studies continue to highlight a downtrend. This suggests that the Dec 13 - 26 recovery was a correction. Attention is on $72.67, the Dec 13 low and bear trigger. Clearance of $81.45 is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
