Brent futures have recovered from Monday’s low and are trading higher today. The bounce is - for now - considered corrective. Last week’s sell-off undermines a recent bull theme and a continuation lower would open $77.77, the Jan 5 low and a key support. A break of this level would expose $75.89, the Dec 12 low. On the upside, initial firm resistance has been defined at $84.05, the 50-day EMA. A break of the EMA would ease bearish pressure.
