Brent futures are in consolidation mode and the latest pause appears to be a bull flag - a trend continuation pattern. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position too, highlighting a clear uptrend. Furthermore, last Friday’s fresh trend high reinforces bullish conditions and short-term weakness is considered corrective. A resumption of gains would open $92.96, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support is $88.28, the 20-day EMA.
