COMMODITIES: WTI Future Trend Condition Unchanged and Bearish
The trend condition in WTI futures is unchanged - a bear cycle remains intact and recent gains are considered corrective. The pullback from the Sep 2 high highlights a possible reversal and the end of a corrective phase between Aug 13 - Sep 2. Initial resistance to watch is $65.43, the Sep 2 high. Key short-term resistance has been defined at $68.43, the Jul 30 high. A stronger resumption of weakness would open $57.50, the May 30 low. Gold is in a clear bull cycle and shallow short-term pullbacks remain corrective. A fresh all-time high once again, yesterday and today, confirms a resumption of the primary uptrend and an extension of the sequence of higher highs and higher lows. The next objective is $3783.2, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support lies at $3594.0, the 20-day EMA. Note that MA studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend.

EQUITIES: Eurostoxx 50 Futures Trading Close to Recent Highs
Eurostoxx 50 futures are trading closer to their recent highs. The contract recently traded through resistance around the 20-day EMA - a bullish development - and the subsequent rally reinforces a bullish theme. The move signals potential for a climb towards 5525.00, the Aug 22 high and a bull trigger. On the downside, key support has been defined at 5302.00, the Sep 2 low. Clearance of this level is required to reinstate a bearish theme. A bull cycle in S&P E-Minis remains intact and the contract traded to a fresh cycle high yesterday. Price has breached the 6700.00 handle and this signals scope for an extension towards 6787.63, a Fibonacci projection point. Moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend and positive market sentiment. Initial support to watch lies at 6616.34, the 20-day EMA.
