Brent futures are trading in a range. The trend set-up is unchanged and a bearish theme remains present. The sell-off on Jun 23 continues to signal scope for further weakness. The contract has pierced support at the 50-day EMA and note too that $66.17, 61.8% of the May 5 - Jun 23 bull leg, has also been pierced. A resumption of the bear leg would expose $61.39, May 30 low. Initial resistance to watch is $72.66, a Fibonacci point.

• RES 3: 92.74 61.8% retracement of the Jul 1 - 18 bear leg     
• RES 2: 92.42 50.0% retracement of the Jul 1 - 18 bear leg   
• RES 1: 91.83/92.15 20-day EMA / High Jul 22
• PRICE: 91.44 @ Close Jul 27 
• SUP 1: 91.18/91.08 Low Jul 24 / 18 and the bear trigger   
• SUP 2: 90.97 76.4% retracement of the May 22 - Jul 1 bull leg
• SUP 3: 90.59 Low May 29   
• SUP 4: 90.46 Low May 23        

Gilt futures continue to trade below the Jul 22 high and the contract remains above its recent lows. A rally early last week resulted in a break of the 20-day EMA. A resumption of gains would signal scope for a climb towards 92.42 next, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, key support and the bear trigger has been defined at 91.08, the Jul 18 low. Clearance of this level would resume the bear cycle that started Jul 1.
