Brent futures traded lower Wednesday, extending the pullback from last week’s high of $93.79 (Oct 20), before recovering. The trend condition is bullish and recent short-term weakness is considered corrective. Key support lies at $83.44, the Oct 6 low. A resumption of gains would refocus attention on the bull trigger at $95.35, the Sep 28 high. For bears, a break of $83.44, would highlight potential for a stronger bear cycle.
