We&#8217;re more than a little concerned as despite any possible near term rebound, an awful lot of triggers were demolished which permit further weakness into the realms of doom. Brent proved a case in point. Our last report  had $39 as &#8220;bottom&#8221;, a number which was ignored when the market gapped the price  down at the open of trade, the day starting at 37.5 dollars before trading even commenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally, Gold is supposed to be a \ndefensive commodity, we&#8217;d guess the metals density making it useful to hit \nanyone suspected of carrying Covid-19. Gold, thus far, has avoided making \nserious panic gains above the 1700 level. Perhaps Toilet Paper shall prove to be \nthe new Gold, if panic buying is a reliable indicator!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price of Brent is a certain  concern, gapped down to open the week at 37.50 dollars. Usually we&#8217;re able to  back test this sort of thing in an attempt to find a trend we&#8217;d previously  missed. Unfortunately, on the occasion, we&#8217;re far from comfortable. Crude  dropped further than we&#8217;d normally expect, now residing in a region with some  pretty dire drop potentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just over 4 years ago, Brent hit a \nmarket bottom at 27.8 dollars, a number we&#8217;d first mooted when it was trading at \n107. And to be honest, while we mentioned the potential, we also ridiculed it, \nthinking the potential highly improbable. This time, we&#8217;re not being as \ncautious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation now calculates with  weakness below 31 dollars allowing reversal to an initial 25 dollars. If (or  doubtless, when) broken, our secondary works out at a bottom of 15 dollars. We  believe, if 15 dollars ever makes an appearance, Brent must bounce. Several  reasons support such a theory. Firstly, since 2016, three quite distinct  scenario now allow an eventual bottom of 15 dollars. Secondly, we cannot  calculate anything below such a level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shown on the chart below is the  immediate downtrend, suggesting the product price needs almost double to 60 dollars to rejoin prior trends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps of greater concern should be the proposed  target levels, each below the markets prior disaster level of 27.8 dollars. The  implicit suggestion therefore is the best we can hope is an entirely new trend  shall develop in the future, one which will find difficulty taking the product  to prior levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless, of course, something happens \nin the world and proves able to change the perception of &#8220;demand&#8221; for crude oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/img\/brent090320.jpg\" alt=\"Hey, chart goes here\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe&#8217;ve not bothered writing &quot;success&quot; against each index. \nWhile all drop targets were achieved, it was due to the markets being gapped \ndown at the open. This sort of thing never feels like a win.<\/p>\n\n<TABLE BORDER=2>\n<TR> <td>\n\t<p align=\"center\"><font size=\"2\">Time Issued<\/font><\/td> <td>\n\t<p align=\"center\"><font
