Brent Crude Oil: Potential for a further corrective move higher

Current price remains below its 40 week moving average (200 days) which indicates that the longer term trend is lower (100 days or more), however, the scope for a further near term (25 to 50) corrective upside rally from the November high - December low remains on the table, provided the key resistance near $85.05 can be overcome for prospective extension move towards the $91.66 (50% retracement from the 52 week high/low); downside risk seen near the $78.3 support.
