COMMODITIES: Next Resistance for Gold at $4536.00, a Fibonacci Projection
The trend condition in WTI futures remains bearish and gains are considered corrective - for now. MA studies are in a bear-mode position, highlighting a dominant downtrend. A key support and the bear trigger at $56.11, the Oct 17 low, has been breached. The break highlights a continuation of the downtrend and opens $53.77, a Fibonacci projection. Key short-term resistance to watch is $61.25, the Oct 24 high. First resistance is at $58.70, the 50- day EMA. The trend structure in Gold is unchanged, it remains bullish and another fresh cycle high reinforces current conditions. The break higher confirms a resumption of the primary uptrend. The metal has traded through the psychological $4500.0 handle and this opens $4536.0 next, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support to watch lies at $4281.3, the 20-day EMA. A pullback would be considered corrective.

COMMODITIES: Additional Weakness for WTI Would Expose Key Support at $55.99
The move down last week in WTI futures strengthens a bearish theme. A stronger resumption of the bear leg would pave the way for a move towards key support and the bear trigger at $55.99, the Oct 20 low. Clearance of this level would resume the downtrend. Note that it is still possible a bullish corrective cycle remains in play. Resistance to watch is $61.84, the Oct 24 high. Clearance of this hurdle would signal scope for a stronger correction. The downleg in Gold between Oct 20 and 28 appears to have been a correction and allowed a recent overbought condition to unwind. The recovery since Oct 28 does suggest that correction is over. Key support to watch lies at the 50-day EMA, at $3952.9. Clearance of this EMA would signal scope for a deeper retracement. The first short-term bull trigger has been defined at $4245.23, the Nov 13 high.
- WTI Crude down $0.54 or -0.93% at $57.5

EQUITIES: Last Week’s Eurostoxx Sell-Off Highlights a Stronger Corrective Cycle
Last week’s sell-off in Eurostoxx 50 futures highlights a stronger corrective cycle. The contract has breached two key support points; 5597.64, the 50-day EMA, and 5626.50, the base of a bull channel drawn from the Aug 1 low. The breach signals scope for a deeper pullback and opens 5427.01, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance to watch is 5633.27, the 20-day EMA. S&P E-Minis remain in a short-term bear-mode condition and weakness last week reinforces current conditions. The breach of 6655.70, the Nov 7 low cancels recent bullish signals and signals scope for an extension of the corrective cycle. Sights are on 6540.25 (pierced), the Oct 10 low and a key support. A clear break of it would open 6476.62, a Fibonacci retracement point. Initial firm resistance to watch is 6735.63, the 20-day EMA.
