Brent futures continue to trade below Monday’s high. Price earlier this week pierced resistance at $78.50, the May 24 high, before pulling back. A clear break of this hurdle would strengthen a bullish condition and signal scope for an extension. This would open $80.08, the Apr 28 high. For bears, a stronger reversal would instead signal a top and this would once again expose key support at $71.20, the May 4 low, ahead of $70.06, the Mar 20 low.
