Brent futures started the week on a firmer note and traded higher again Tuesday. This follows a reversal signal on Jul 14 - a long legged doji candle pattern. Nonetheless, fading prices early Wednesday confirm short-term gains are considered corrective and the next resistance to watch is $107.55, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a stronger recovery. For bears, a reversal lower, would refocus attention on the bear trigger at $94.50, the Jul 14 low.
