Brent futures are trading closer to recent highs and remain above the recent low of $99.25 (Apr 25). A bearish threat remains present despite recent gains. The contract appears to be trading inside a triangle, drawn from the Mar 15 low. This is a bearish pattern. A break below $99.25 would highlight a triangle breakout and expose $97.18, Apr 11 low, and $92.59, the Mar 15 low. Triangle resistance intersects at $112.27 today.
