The Brent Crude ETF (BNO) plunged in February and then consolidated with a pennant in early March. This consolidation affirmed support near the trend line extending up from the early November low. With a sharp decline the last two days, BNO broke support to signal a continuation lower. Also notice that the BNO:USO ratio broke support to signal that Brent is starting to underperform West Texas Intermediate.
