OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Support In Gold Remains Intact For Now

Nov-06 12:09
  • On the commodity front, a fresh cycle low recently in Gold highlights an extension of the bear cycle that started Oct 20. The move down 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 $3871.7 - a key pivot support. Clearance of this EMA would strengthen a short-term bear theme. Initial resistance is at $4161.4, the Oct 22 high.
  • WTI futures are trading below recent highs, however, a short-term corrective bull cycle remains in play. Price has recently traded through resistance at the 50-day EMA, currently at $60.97. 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, Sep 26 high. The bear trigger is unchanged at $55.96, Oct 20 low.
