Brent futures traded higher again Thursday, extending the bounce from $79.10, the Feb 6 low and the contract is holding on to the bulk of its latest gains. Price has traded above the 50-day EMA and attention turns to 86.66, a Fibonacci retracement. A break of this level would expose the key resistance at $89.00, the Jan 23 high. On the downside, a breach of $79.10, the Feb 6 low, is required to reinstate a recent bearish theme.
