Brent futures pullbacks are considered corrective with a bullish theme still intact. Last week's strong climb follows a reversal signal on Oct 5, a bullish engulfing candle. The rally that followed signals scope for an extension higher towards the next key resistance at $44.30, Sep 8 high. A break of this hurdle would strengthen bullish conditions. Firm support lies at $41.22, Oct 5 low. A break would alter the picture.
