  • SUP 2: $76.13 - Low Jan 17
  • SUP 3: $74.82 - Low Jan 03
  • SUP 4: $72.96 - Low Dec 13 and the bear trigger

Brent futures have reversed course and the sharp pullback from $84.17, the Jan 29 high, has resulted in a print below the 50-day EMA, at $79.42. A continuation lower would undermine the recent bullish theme and signal scope for weakness towards $76.13, the Jan 17 low. For bulls, a break of $84.17 is required to reinstate a bullish theme. This would pave the way for a climb towards $86.03, a Fibonacci retracement point.
