Brent futures are holding onto this week's gains that have exposed key resistance at $46.61, Aug 5 high and the key bull trigger. A break would negate recent bearish developments and more importantly confirm a resumption of the underlying uptrend. This would open $46.74 and $47.03. On the downside, key near-term support has been defined at $44.17, Aug 21 low. A breach would again highlight a bearish threat.
