  • SUP 4: 6540.25 Low Oct 10 and a key support 

The trend condition in S&P E-Minis remains bullish and Thursday’s selloff appears corrective - for now. Attention is on support at the 50-day EMA, at 6729.38. A clear break of the EMA, and of support at 6655.50, the Nov 7 low, would highlight a short-term reversal and signal scope for a deeper correction. Initial firm resistance to watch is 6900.50, the Nov 12 high. A breach of this hurdle would be a bullish development.

  • SUP 4: 6427.00 Low Sep 2 

A sharp sell-off in S&P E-Minis last Friday appears corrective - for now. The contract has found support below the 50-day EMA, currently at 6605.62, and the Oct 10 low of 6940.25 has been defined as a key short-term support. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend. The bull trigger is 6812.25, the Sep 9 high. A breach of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the uptrend.

  • SUP 3: $54.89 - Low May 5
  • SUP 4: $54.10 - Low Apr 9 and a key support

A bearish theme in WTI futures remains intact and Tuesday’s fresh cycle low reinforces current conditions. The move down last week resulted in a break of support at $60.40, the Oct 2 low. This highlights an extension of the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs and the move down opens $57.50 next, the May 30 low. On the upside, key resistance is at $66.42, the Sep 29 high. First resistance is at $62.47, the 50-day EMA.

  • SUP 3: $3819.6 - Low Oct 2
  • SUP 4: $3695.8 - 50-day EMA  

A bull cycle in Gold remains intact and this week’s extension reinforces current conditions. The move higher maintains the price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Sights are on the $4200.00 handle, and $4239.7, a Fibonacci projection point. Note that the trend is in overbought territory. A move down would be considered corrective and would allow the overbought set-up to unwind. Support lies at $3889.3, 20-day EMA.
