Brent futures traded higher Monday, marking an extension of the current bull cycle. The climb has exposed key S/T resistance at $84.72, the May 29 high. A clear break of this hurdle would undermine a recent bearish theme and instead signal scope for a continuation higher near-term. This would open $87.04, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, initial support to watch is $81.95, the 20-day EMA. A break would be seen as an early reversal signal.
