Brent futures are holding on to the bulk of recent gains. The outlook remains bearish though following the recent sell-off. This resulted in a break of two important support levels; $90.95, the Aug 17 low and $89.06, the Jul 14 low and bear trigger. The break of $89.06 highlights a resumption of the downtrend that started early August and has opened $86.54, the Mar 9 low. The next firm resistance is seen at the 50-day EMA - it intersects at $96.67.
