Bearish WTI Theme Remains Intact

COMMODITIES

Gold is unchanged. The medium-term trend structure remains bullish. Monday’s initial gains resulted in a print above resistance at $2431.5, the Apr 12 high and bull trigger. The break confirms a resumption of the primary uptrend and paves the way for a climb towards 2452.5 next. A bearish theme in WTI futures remains intact and short-term gains are considered corrective. Price has recently traded below the 50-day EMA, strengthening a bearish set-up that highlights potential for a deeper correction.
