Brent Resumes the Up Trend ??



Brent found support at  $42 levels and has reversed to test $47 . In spite of heavy short built up, the reversal may have come as a surprise as traders scramble to cover their shorts, in the process propel the prices higher.  On the daily charts,  Brent may find resistance at $47-$47.50 levels and may consolidate between $45 to $47 levels before the next move.




On the weekly charts, with the momentum picking up, a crossover of the trigger (yellow dotted) line above zero may indicate resumption of the uptrend after a brief correction from $52 to $42, a 38.2% retracement, common  during  an up move.

With the long term trend gradually picking up,  higher targets nearing $65 cannot be ruled out in the next few months. 






We had earlier indicate the possibility of Brent correcting to $43 levels and resuming the uptrend . See post :
