A retracement analysis on the rise from $71.28 to $78.66 reveals a break below a key support of $74.10.

Brent oil still targets $79.81

Most of the gains from the May 15 low of $73.49 has been eaten up by the deep drop on Tuesday.

The drop looks like a convincing signal of the resumed downtrend from the April 12 high of $87.49. The March 20 low of $70.12 might be revisited very soon.
