Brent futures have recovered from their recent lows. The trend condition is bearish and the latest recovery is considered corrective - for now. Initial resistance at $82.51, the 50-day EMA, has been pierced. A clear break of it would expose key short-term resistance at $84.72, the May 29 high. Clearance of this level would alter the picture. For bears, a reversal would refocus attention on a move to $75.63, Feb 5 low.
