Brent futures traded sharply lower Wednesday and again Thursday to reinforce current bearish conditions. The contract has breached both the 20-day and 50-EMA points. The latest move lower undermines the recent bull theme and a continuation lower would open $80.42, a Fibonacci retracement and potentially expose $77.77, the Jan 5 low. On the upside, the bull trigger has been defined at $89.00, the Jan 23 high.
