Brent futures traded higher Wednesday and the move has reinstated a short-term bullish theme. Key near-term support has been defined at $88.77, the Oct 18 low, where a break is required to cancel the current positive outlook. The contract has breached resistance at $95.17, Oct 12 high and this signals potential for a climb towards $98.75, the Oct 10 high and a key resistance. A break of $98.75 would further strengthen conditions for bulls.
