Brent futures bounced Wednesday. Price remains below the most recent high of $77.60 (May 10) and below resistance at the 20-day EMA which intersects at $78.99. A clear break of the average is required to strengthen a bullish threat and signal scope for a stronger recovery. For now, the outlook remains bearish. A break of $73.49, May 15 low, would set the scene for an extension towards $781.28, the May 4 low.
