Markets have steadied above lows Monday on the back of Trump’s claims that he’s pursuing talks with Iran, however the broader trend themes remain negative for prices. Resistance to watch has shifted lower, with 95.653 representing the 23.6% retracement for the downleg posted off the October high on the continuation contract. A clear break of it would signal a short-term reversal. The bear mode set-up in MA studies is highlighting a dominant downtrend. In addition, any weakness through year-to-date lows at 95.560 has prompted further downside, opening vol-band support into 94.410.
