SILVER TECHS: Recovers Off Support

  • RES 4: $41.064 - 1.764 proj of the Apr 7 - 25 - May 15 swing
  • RES 3: $40.285 - 1.618 proj of the Apr 7 - 25 - May 15 swing
  • RES 2: $40.000 - Psychological round number
  • RES 1: $39.655 - 1.500 proj of the Apr 7 - 25 - May 15 swing    
  • PRICE: $37.872 @ 07:26 BST Aug 6  
  • SUP 1: $36.216 - Low Jul 31 
  • SUP 2: $35.285 - Low Jun 24
  • SUP 3: $33.940 - 50.0% retracement of the Apr 7 - Jul 23 bull leg  
  • SUP 4: $32.958 - Low Jun 2

Trend signals in Silver remain bullish despite the recent unconstructive price action. The pullback off the late July highs is considered corrective - particularly as prices have recovered off support at the $36.652 50-day EMA. It has been pierced, but a clear break of it is needed to strengthen a short-term bearish threat and allow for a deeper retracement. This would open $35.285, the Jun 24 low. For bulls, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on the next objective at $39.655 a Fibonacci projection.

BRENT TECHS: (U5) Bear Threat Remains Present

Jul-07 06:24
  • RES 4: $85.00 - Round number resistance 
  • RES 3: $81.99 - 2.764 proj of the Apr 9 - 23 - May 5 price swing
  • RES 2: $80.72 - 2.618 proj of the Apr 9 - 23 - May 5 price swing
  • RES 1: $72.66/79.40 - 50.0% of the Jun 23-30 range / High Jun 23
  • PRICE: $68.07 @ 07:13 BST Jul 7
  • SUP 1: $65.92 - Low Jun 30 
  • SUP 2: $61.39 - Low May 30
  • SUP 3: $58.00 - Low May 5
  • SUP 4: $57.70 - Low Apr 9 and a key support   

Short-term conditions in Brent futures are unchanged, the outlook remains bearish. The contract traded sharply lower on Jun 23, and for now, this sell-off continues to highlight a bearish theme. The 50-day EMA has been breached and note too that $66.17, 61.8% of the May 5 - Jun 23 bull leg, has been pierced. A continuation lower would expose $61.39 next, the May 30 low. Initial resistance to watch is $72.66, a Fibonacci retracement point. 

EURJPY TECHS: Fresh Cycle High

  • RES 2: 171.09 High Jul 23 ‘24

  • SUP 3: 167.13 Low Jun 20   
  • SUP 4: 165.84 50-day EMA   

A bull cycle in EURJPY remains intact and the cross is starting the week on a firm note, trading to a fresh cycle high. 170.47, 76.4% of the Jul 11 - Aug 5 sell-off, has been breached. The break strengthens bullish conditions and signals scope for extension towards 171.28 next, a Fibonacci projection. The trend is overbought, a pullback would unwind this condition. Support  lies at 168.09, the 20-day EMA.
