Oil Technical Analysis: Brent on slippery ground after bear flag breakdown

  • Brent oil witnessed a bear flag breakdown – a bearish continuation pattern – on the hourly chart a couple of hours ago. Further, the failed attempt to retake the flag will likely strengthen the bear case.
  • The flag breakdown has opened the doors to $69.00 (target as per the measured move method).
  • On the higher side, a break above the flag high of $72.87 will likely put the bulls back into the driver’s seat.
