OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Bear Threat In Oil Futures Still Present
Sep-09 11:52
On the commodity front, Gold remains in a clear bull cycle and last week’s gains plus Monday’s bullish start to the week, reinforce current conditions. The yellow metal has traded to a fresh all-time high. The break also confirms a resumption of the primary uptrend and an extension of the sequence of higher highs and higher lows. The next objective is $3674.8, a 2.382 projection of the Dec 30 ’24 - Apr 3 - 7 price swing. Initial firm support lies at $3458.7, the 20-day EMA.
In the oil space, the trend condition in WTI futures is unchanged - a bear cycle remains intact. The pullback from last Tuesday’s high highlights a possible reversal and the end of the corrective phase. Initial resistance to watch is $66.03, the Sep 2 high. Key short-term resistance has been defined at $69.36, the Jul 30 high. A stronger resumption of weakness would pave the way for a move towards $57.71, the May 30 low.
