Brent futures continue to trade inside a range. The trend outlook remains bearish and moving average studies continue to highlight a dominant downtrend. A resumption of the bear leg would open $69.45 the Oct 1 low, and $67.85, the Sep 10 low and a key support. For bulls, a clearer reversal higher would instead refocus attention on key resistance at $79.50, the Oct 7 high. Initial firm resistance to watch is unchanged at $75.43, the Nov 5 high.
