The bull trend in Brent futures remains intact and short-term pullbacks are considered corrective. Fresh highs this week confirm a resumption of the uptrend and maintain the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Note too that the futures have recently cleared the $80.00 handle, an important psychological hurdle. The focus is on $86.55 next, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm short-term support is seen at $81.84, the 20-day EMA.
