Brent futures are consolidating and remain below this year's high. Key ST support has been defined at $54.40, Jan 22 low. A breach of this level would pave the way for a deeper corrective decline and allow an overbought trend reading to unwind. Note a break of $54.40 would also see price trade through the 20-day EMA. On the upside, key resistance is at $57.31, Jan 13 high. Clearance of this resistance would confirm a resumption of the uptrend.
