- The Brent oil hourly chart shows a bear flag pattern, meaning the corrective rally from the July 18 low of $71.21 has likely ended.
- Still, the bears are cautioned against being too ambitious as the 100-hour moving average (MA) is holding above the 200-hour MA, indicating the path of least resistance is to the upside.
