COMMODITIES: WTI Recovery Holding, Clears Notable Resistance

Oct-24 08:41

A sharp pullback in Gold this week appears corrective - for now. Note that the trend is overbought and a deeper retracement would allow this condition to unwind. Support at the 20-day EMA, at $4046.2, has been pierced. The latest recovery in WTI futures appears corrective for now, however, note that price has traded through resistance at the 50-day EMA, at $61.11. The breach of this average signals scope for a stronger recovery and exposes $62.34.               

  • WTI Crude up $0.14 or +0.23% at $62
  • Natural Gas down $0.01 or -0.27% at $3.337
  • Gold spot down $65.83 or -1.6% at $4062.82
  • Copper up $0.5 or +0.1% at $511.25
  • Silver down $0.95 or -1.94% at $47.9027
  • Platinum down $20.45 or -1.25% at $1607.83
