Oil Technical Analysis: Brent has eroded two month rising trendline

  • Brent oil found acceptance below the trendline sloping upwards from the Aug. 16 low and Sept. 21 low in Asia, having witnessed a bear flag breakdown yesterday and fell to $81.39 – the lowest level since Sept. 28.
  • The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is threatening to drop below 50.00, in bearish territory, having breached the rising trendline.
  • The 5-day and 10-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) have produced a bearish crossover.
  • Brent looks set to test key support at $80.48 (50% Fib R of $70.33/$76.71), albeit after a minor bounce, as the 14-hour RSI has dipped into oversold territory, below 30.00.
