Brent futures reversed direction Wednesday but did find support yesterday. Attention is on the key support at $41.36, Oct 12 low and the base of the recent volatile range. A break would highlight a bearish development and signal scope for a deeper pullback, potentially towards the $38.79 low from Oct 2. This low represents the key bear trigger. Resistance and the level that needs to be cleared to trigger stronger gains is at $43.57, Oct 9 high.
