Oil Technical Analysis: Brent defends 50-day EMA despite pennant breakdown

  • Brent suffered a pennant breakdown yesterday, signaling a continuation of the sell-off from the high of $85.08, still, the bears have not been able to keep prices below $80.00.
  • More importantly, brent defended 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) support yesterday, despite the pennant breakdown.
  • As a result, a minor bounce to $81.00 could be in the offing and only a daily close below the 50-day EMA of $79.47 would revive the bearish view.
