The trend condition in S&P E-Minis is unchanged, it remains bullish and the latest pullback appears corrective. Support at the 20-day EMA, at 6803.81, has been breached. A clear break of this average signals scope for a deeper retracement and exposes the 50-day EMA at 6702.18 - a key pivot support. The bull trigger has been defined at 6953.75, the Oct 30 high. Clearance of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the uptrend.

WTI futures are unchanged and the contract remains in a corrective cycle for now. Note that price has recently traded through the 50-day EMA, currently at $61.03. The breach of this EMA signals scope for a stronger recovery. Note too that a resistance at $62.34, the Oct 8 high, has also been pierced. A clear move through it would expose key resistance at $65.77, the Sep 26 high. First key support and the bear trigger is unchanged at $55.96, the Oct 20 low.

A fresh cycle low last week in Gold highlights an extension of the bear cycle that started Oct 20. The retracement since Oct 20 has allowed an overbought trend condition to unwind. The 20-day EMA has been breached, signalling scope for a test of the 50-day EMA, at $3867.3. Clearance of this EMA would strengthen a short-term bear theme. Initial resistance is at $4161.4, the Oct 22 high.
