OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Key Support In Gold Remains Intact
Nov-10 11:54
- On the commodity front, the downleg in Gold that started Oct 20 appears to have been a correction and has allowed an overbought condition to unwind. Price remains above a key support area at the 50-day EMA, at $3880.7. Clearance of this EMA would strengthen a short-term bear theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. Initial resistance is at $4161.4, the Oct 22 high. A stronger recovery would refocus attention on $4381.5, the Oct 20 high and bull trigger.
- The latest pullback in WTI futures appears to be a flag formation - a bullish continuation pattern. This suggests that a bullish corrective cycle remains intact for now. Price has recently traded through the 50-day EMA, at $60.87, signalling scope for a stronger recovery. Note too that resistance at $62.34, the Oct 8 high, has been pierced. A clear move through it would expose key resistance at $65.77, Sep 26 high. The bear trigger is $55.96, the Oct 20 low.
