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

Brent futures have recovered from their most recent low. The trend condition is unchanged and remains bearish. Price has recently cleared the 50-day EMA and the clear breach of this average signals scope for a deeper correction towards $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. Initial resistance is $84.08, the 50-day EMA.
