  • RES 4: $92.94 - 2.236 proj of the Jan 3 - 29 - Feb 5 price swing
  • RES 3: $91.11 - 2.00 proj of the Jan 8 - 29 - Feb 5 price swing
  • RES 2: $90.22 - High Apr 12 and the bull trigger
  • RES 1: $85.20/87.77 - High May 1 / High Apr 26

  • SUP 3: $75.63 - Low Feb 5
  • SUP 4: $73.47 - Low Dec 13 and a key support

Brent futures have pulled back from this week’s high of $84.72 (May 29). Recent short-term gains are considered corrective. The trend condition is bearish and moving average studies reinforce this - they have recently crossed and are in a bear-mode set-up. A continuation of the latest sell-off would open $79.87, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance is $87.77, the Apr 26 high.
