Jul-08 06:32
  • RES 4: $82.62 - 3.000 proj of the Apr 9 - 23 - May 5 price swing
  • RES 3: $80.43 - 2.764 proj of the Apr 9 - 23 - May 5 price swing 
  • RES 2: $80.00 - Psychological round number
  • RES 1: $71.20/78.40 - 50.0% of the Jun 23-24 range / High Jun 23

  • SUP 2: $58.87 - Low May 30
  • SUP 3: $54.81 - Low May 5
  • SUP 4: $54.13 - Low Apr 9 and a key support  

WTI futures maintain a softer tone following the reversal from the Jun 23 high, and recent gains appear corrective. Support to watch is the 50-day EMA, at $64.96. It has been pierced, a clear break of it would signal scope for a deeper retracement. This would expose $58.87, the May 30 low. Initial resistance to watch is $71.20, the 50.0% retracement of the Jun 23 - 24 high-low range. Key resistance is at $78.40, the Jun 23 high.

GOLD TECHS: Trading Above The Jun 30 Low

Jul-08 06:28
  • RES 4: $3547.9 - 1.764 proj of the Feb 28 - Apr 3 - Apr 7 price swing
  • RES 3: $3500.1 - High Apr 22 and bull trigger
  • RES 2: $3395.1/3451.3 - High Jun 23 / 16  
  • RES 1: $3365.8 - High Jul 3

  • SUP 2: $3204.7 - Low May 20
  • SUP 3: $3121.0 - Low May 15 and key support
  • SUP 4: $3085.0 - 76.4% retracement of the Apr 7 - 22 bull leg  

A recent move lower in Gold resulted in a breach of the 50-day EMA, and a trendline drawn from the Dec 30 ‘24 low and connected to the Feb 28 low. A clear break of both trend tools would signal scope for a deeper correction, and open $3245.5, May 29 low. Note that the latest recovery highlights a possible false trendline break. A resumption of gains would refocus attention on $3451.3, the Jun 16 high. The bear trigger lies at $3248.7, the Jun 30 low.
