OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Bull Cycle In Oil Futures Remains Intact

Jun-10 10:57
  • On the commodity front, a bullish theme in Gold remains intact and the latest pullback appears corrective. Medium-term trend signals are bullish - moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend. A resumption of gains would refocus attention on $3435.6 next, the May 7 high. A break of this hurdle would strengthen bullish conditions. On the downside, the next support to monitor is $3242.4, the 50-day EMA.
  • In the oil space, WTI futures are trading higher this week, extending the current bull cycle. The contract has cleared the 50-day EMA and this signals scope for an extension towards $67.14, the 76.4% retracement of the Apr 2 - 9 bear leg. It is still possible that the recovery since early May is a correction. MA studies are in a bear-mode position, highlighting a dominant medium-term downtrend. Support to watch lies at $59.74, the May 30 low. A break would highlight a potential bearish reversal.
