Gold Conditions Remain Bullish Despite Monday Dip

COMMODITIES

Trend conditions in WTI futures remain bearish and this week’s move lower reinforces this theme. $74.96, the Sep 28 low, has been cleared. This confirms a resumption of the downtrend and sights are on the $70.00 psychological handle. Moving average studies are in a bear mode condition, highlighting the current trend direction. Key resistance is at $82.61, the 50-day EMA. Trend conditions in Gold remain bullish and Monday’s retracement - for now - appears to be a correction. A fresh trend high last week reinforced a bullish theme and price has breached $1786.5, the Nov 15 high and a bull trigger, confirming a resumption of the uptrend. $1800.0 has also been cleared and sights are on resistance at $1807.9, Aug 10 high that has been pierced. Key trend support is at $1729.0, the Nov 23 low.
