Brent futures have recovered from last week's lows. The short-term outlook remains bearish following the reversal lower on Jul 6. Key resistance is defined at $77.84, that day's high. The contract has recently cleared the 20-day EMA and the breach of this average opens $71.24, Jun 17 low and an important short-term support. For bulls, a move above $77.84 is required to confirm a resumption of the underlying uptrend.
