Brent futures continue to trade above the Sep 21 low of $41.51. This marks an important intraday bear trigger, a break would expose a deeper sell-off and open the major support at $39.88, Sep 8 low. Clearance of this latter level would signal a stronger bearish cycle. Key near-term resistance has been defined at $44.30, Sep 18 high where a break would instead highlight a bullish theme. $41.51 and $44.30 mark the directional triggers.
