Brent futures are trading below last week’s high. A bearish theme remains intact and the latest recovery is considered corrective. A number of important retracement levels have recently been breached. Attention is on $88.67 next, 61.8% of the Sep 26 - Oct 10 rally. A break would open $86.29, the 76.4% level. On the upside, initial firm resistance to watch is at $95.17, the Oct 12 high. Clearance of this level would ease the bearish threat.
