Brent futures traded lower Tuesday but recovered from the session low. The move lower marks an extension of the pullback from last week’s $123.74 high (Mar 24). The contract has breached the 20-day EMA and this suggests scope for a deeper short-term retracement that has opened the 50-day EMA, at $102.16. The 50-day average marks a key pivot support. $123.74 remains the key short-term resistance.
