Brent futures remain below the recent highs and the near-term outlook is bearish. The recovery from the May 4 low appears to have been a correction and allowed an oversold trend condition to unwind. The bearish wave from Apr 12, signals scope for a continuation lower towards key support at $70.10, the Mar 20 low. Clearance of this level would reinforce bearish conditions. Initial resistance is seen at $77.15, the 20-day EMA.
