OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Key Support In Gold Remains Intact

May-14 10:46
  • On the commodity front, the latest pullback in Gold still appears corrective. Key short-term support to watch is $3202.0, the May 1 low. A clear break of this level would undermine the short-term bullish theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. This would open $3164.3, 61.8% of the Apr 7 - Apr 22 upleg. Note that the 50-day EMA is at $3164.5 - a key support too. The M/T trend remains bullish, a reversal would refocus attention on $3500.1, the Apr 22 high and bull trigger.
  • In the oil space, a downtrend in WTI futures remains intact and S/T gains are considered corrective. For now, the corrective cycle remains in play and price has traded through the 20-day EMA. Key resistance to watch is $63.55, the 50-day EMA. It has been pierced, a clear break of it would highlight a stronger reversal. This would open $66.41, the Apr 4 high. For bears a reversal lower would refocus attention on $54.67, the Apr 9 low and bear trigger.
