- On the commodity front, Gold is in a clear bull cycle and shallow short-term pullbacks remain corrective. A fresh all-time high once again, yesterday, confirms a resumption of the primary uptrend and an extension of the sequence of higher highs and higher lows. The next objective is the $3800.0 handle. Initial firm support lies at $3610.2, the 20-day EMA.
- In the oil space, the trend condition in WTI is unchanged - a bear cycle remains intact and short-term gains are considered corrective.

Clearance of this hurdle confirms a resumption of the uptrend and opens 1.1923, the 2.00 projection of the Feb 28 - Mar 18 - 247 price swing. Support to watch is 1.1678. the 50-day EMA.

For bulls, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on key short-term resistance at 1.3726, the Sep 17 high.
- USDJPY is holding onto the bulk of its latest gains. A bullish candle pattern on Sep 17 - a hammer formation - provided an early reversal signal. Note too that moving average studies remain in a bull-mode condition and this continues to highlight a dominant uptrend. A resumption of gains would open 149.14, the Sep 3 high. Pivot support is 145.49, the Sep 17 low.
