Brent futures remain above the Jul 8 low of $72.11. The pullback from last week's highs has exposed key near-term support at $72.11, Jul 8 low. A breach of this support would signal a short-term top. Note that the 50-day EMA intersects at $71.89. A clear break of the EMA would also reinforce a bearish condition and signal scope for a deeper corrective pullback. On the upside, $76.72, Jul 14 high marks the first key resistance.
