Brent futures remain vulnerable following last week’s sell-off and despite the latest (shallow) bounce. Recent weakness resulted in a break of support at $83.50, the Apr 3 low, and price has also breached both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. This signals scope for a move to $79.95, the Mar 31 high and a gap low on the daily chart. Key resistance has been defined at $87.49, the Apr 12 high. A break would resume the recent bull run.
