The short-term outlook for Brent futures remains positive despite yesterday’s retracement. A break of 114.84, Apr 18 high, would resume the recent recovery and open resistance at $119.74, the Mar 24 high. The contract has recently recovered from just below the 50-day EMA - a bullish development - which intersects at $102.15 today. For bears, a clear break of this EMA would suggest scope for a deeper decline and open $94.61, the Mar 16 low.
