Recent weakness remains the driving factor for oil prices, which resumed Wednesday to press prices into the European close. Recent price action has resulted in a break of support around the 50-day EMA - at $87.43. Note too that a short-term trendline support at $88.32, drawn from the Jun 28 low, has also been cleared. This confirms the current bearish cycle and signals scope for a deeper retracement. A continuation would open $82.80, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance is at $90.58, the 20-day EMA.
