  • SUP 4: $73.47 Low Dec 13 and a key support

Brent futures remain above recent lows and key support at $85.32, the 50-day EMA. A bearish corrective cycle remains in play and a clear break of the 50-day EMA would signal scope for a deeper retracement that would open $80.24, a Fibonacci retracement. Key resistance and the bull trigger has been defined at $91.18, the Apr 12 high. Clearance of this level would resume the uptrend.
