Oil Technical Analysis: Brent on slippery ground after bear flag breakdown
|- Brent oil witnessed a bear flag breakdown - a bearish continuation pattern - on the hourly chart a couple of hours ago. Further, the failed attempt to retake the flag will likely strengthen the bear case.
- The flag breakdown has opened the doors to $69.00 (target as per the measured move method).
- On the higher side, a break above the flag high of $72.87 will likely put the bulls back into the driver's seat.
