Brent futures rallied sharply higher last Friday and the contract maintains a firmer tone. The latest recovery has defined a key support at $83.44, Oct 6 low. The medium-term trend condition is bullish and a continuation higher would expose the bull trigger at $95.35, Sep 28 high. Clearance of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the uptrend. For bears, a break of $83.44, would highlight potential for a stronger bear cycle.
