Brent futures remain vulnerable and the contract traded lower again Tuesday. Price has breached a key support at $78.84, the Feb 6 low and pierced $77.76, the Jan 5 low. A continuation lower and clear break of this level would strengthen bearish conditions. The focus is on $76.04, the Dec 12 low and key medium term support. A break of $76.04 would confirm a resumption of the medium-term downtrend. Initial firm resistance is $84.00, the Mar 9 high.
