Brent futures are likely to continue facing selling pressure near-term and recent gains are considered corrective. The move lower last and reversal on Jul 6 resulted in a break of the 20-day EMA. The breach of the EMA opens $69.54, Jun 17 low and an important short-term support. For bulls, a move above $77.84, the Jul 6 high would instead confirm a resumption of the underlying uptrend.
