OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Bull Cycle In Gold Remains In Play
Apr-22 10:36
On the commodity front, the trend needle in Gold continues to point north and this week’s fresh cycle highs confirm a resumption of the primary uptrend. The yellow metal has traded to another fresh all-time high. Note too that moving average studies are unchanged, they remain in a bull-mode position highlighting a dominant uptrend. The next objective is $3547.9, the 1.764 projection of the Feb 28 - Apr 3 - Apr 7 price swing. Initial firm support lies at 3163.5, the 20-day EMA. First support is $3331.5, the Apr 21 low.
In the oil space, a bearish theme in WTI futures remains intact and the recovery since Apr 9 is - for now - considered corrective. The move higher is allowing an oversold trend condition to unwind. Recent weakness has resulted in the breach of a number of important support levels, reinforcing a bearish threat. A resumption of the bear cycle would open $53.72, a 2.236 projection of the Feb 20 - Mar 5 - Apr 2 price swing. Initial firm resistance is seen at $64.49, the Mar 5 low and a recent breakout level. The 50-day EMA is at $66.22.
