Brent futures continue to trade at its recent lows. From a short-term perspective, the market's directional bias is unclear. For bears, a break of $91.08, the Oct 13 low would strengthen bearish conditions and signal scope for a move towards $88.67, a Fibonacci retracement. A resumption of gains would instead pave the way for a climb towards the key resistance at $98.75, the Oct 10 high.
