Brent yet to recover much of the heavy losses seen yesterday

Yesterday the price of Brent crude extended the report fall bellow a noted double bottom in place on the daily charts. That potential breakdown was highlighted here a few times before it took place and a later update here noted the fall towards $69 per barrel in the November contract. Well, subsequent to that update, Brent fell further, reaching a low at $68.68 ahead of the European close. The rebound that followed into the NYMEX settlement saw it lift back above $69, but it came nowhere close to recovering the earlier breakdown level around $70.60. Brent later settled $2.65 lower on the NYMEX exchange, at $69.19. Later on the US private inventory data showed a greater than forecast draw, but that did not deliver much of a further gain either. So today, whilst off the lows seen yesterday, Brent is yet to come close to reclaiming levels back above $70.60. It is currently trading at $69.57
