Gold Below Recent Highs But Trend Conditions Still Technically Bullish

COMMODITIES

WTI futures have pulled back from recent highs. The recent recovery that started May 4 is considered corrective and the move higher has allowed an oversold trend condition to unwind. Initial resistance is at $73.93, the Apr 28 low ahead of $76.92, the Apr 28 high. On the downside, the recent print below $64.58, the Mar 20 low and a key support, reinforces a bearish theme. A clear break of it would confirm a resumption of the broader downtrend. Gold remains below its recent highs but trend conditions remain bullish. The yellow metal has recently breached resistance at $2048.7, the Apr 13 high to confirm a resumption of the broader bull cycle. This maintains the positive price sequence of higher highs and higher lows and moving average studies remain in a bull-mode set-up. The focus is on $2070.4, the Mar 8 2022 high ahead of the all-time high at $2075.5. Key support is 1969.3, the Apr 19 low.
