Brent futures continue to pull back from its recent highs. The move lower though is considered corrective - for now. The trend is up and a positive price sequence of higher highs and higher lows is intact. Scope is seen for a retest and clear break of 124.42, Mar 7 high. This would confirm a resumption of the primary uptrend. On the downside, the 20-day EMA, at $117.37, is still seen as initial firm support. A break would allow for a deeper corrective pullback.
