The trend condition in Brent futures remains bullish, however, a corrective cycle is in play and the contract has traded lower this week. Price has pierced support at $83.91, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of the average would signal scope for an extension towards $82.31, a Fibonacci retracement. On the upside, a reversal would signal the end of the corrective cycle and refocus attention on key short-term resistance at $87.95, the Jul 5 high.
