Brent futures are consolidating and holding onto the strong rebound from $65.01, Jul 20 low. Price is testing the 61.8% retracement of the Jul 6 - 20 downleg at $71.85. A clear breach of this area would strengthen a bullish case and place on hold the recent bearish theme. It would also signal scope for a climb towards key resistance at $76.07, the Jul 6 high. A reversal lower would instead refocus attention on $65.01, Jul 20 low and the key support.
