COMMODITIES: Thursday's Gains Reinforce Bullish Structure in Gold
WTI futures remain in a bearish condition. Tuesday’s strong sell-off reinforces current conditions and confirmed an extension of the bear cycle. This suggests that the most recent bounce is a short-term correction. A resumption of the downtrend would open $63.93 next, a Fibonacci projection point, ahead of the psychological $60.00 handle. Firm resistance is at $71.32, the 20-day EMA. A bullish structure in Gold remains intact and yesterday’s gains have reinforced this theme - the metal traded to a new all-time high. This ends the recent consolidation - a pause in the uptrend - and maintains the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. MA studies are in a bull-mode set-up, highlighting a clear uptrend. The focus is on $2584.0, a Fibonacci projection. Firm support lies at $2501.2, the 20-day EMA.
