Brent crude futures remain in an uptrend although from a short-term perspective, and with price trading below recent highs, a corrective wave dominates. This is allowing an overbought condition to unwind and attention is on the 20-day EMA at $62.10. A break of the average would allow for a deeper pullback towards trendline support at $59.92, drawn off the Nov 2 low. Key resistance and the bull trigger is at $67.70.
