COMMODITIES: WTI Futures Holding Onto This Week's Gains, Remain Above 20-Day EMA

COMMODITIES

WTI futures are holding on to their latest gains. The move higher since Sep 9, appears - for now - to be a correction. Recent weakness reinforced a bearish condition and note that moving average studies are in a bear-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant downtrend. A resumption of the downtrend would open $64.61 next, a Fibonacci projection point. The 20-day EMA, at $70.09, has been pierced. A clear break of it would open $72.58, the 50-day EMA. A bullish structure in Gold remains intact and the metal traded, once again, to a fresh all-time high, yesterday. Last week’s gains confirmed a resumption of the primary uptrend and marked the end of the recent period of consolidation - a pause in the uptrend. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up, highlighting a clear uptrend and positive market sentiment. The focus is on $2613.3 next. Firm support lies at $2542.3, the 20-day EMA.

  • WTI Crude up $0.63 or +0.89% at $71.58
