Brent futures hold the bulk of the Friday gains, extending the bounce from $79.10, Feb 6 low. Price has moved further away from the 50-day EMA, breached early last week. Markets have exposed the bull trigger at 89.00, having shown above the 86.66 level, marking the 76.4% of the Jan 23 - Feb 6 bear leg. On the downside, a move below $79.10, Feb 6 low, is required to reinstate a bearish theme. Initial support is $83.05, the Feb 9 low.
