COMMODITIES: Move Lower in WTI Futures Last Week Reinforces Bearish Theme
A bearish threat in WTI futures remains present and the Nov 25 move lower reinforces this theme. Attention is on $65.74, the Oct 1 low, and $63.90, the Sep 10 low and key support. For bulls, a stronger reversal to the upside would instead refocus attention on the key short-term resistance at $77.04, the Oct 8 high. Initial firm resistance to watch is unchanged at $72.41, the Nov 7 high. The long-term trend condition in Gold is unchanged and remains bullish. The Oct 31 - Nov 14 bear leg appears to have been a correction. Moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend. Resistance to watch is $2721.4, the Nov 25 high. Clearance of this level would highlight a bullish short-term development. Key support to monitor is $2536.9, the Nov 14 low.
