COMMODITIES

WTI futures traded higher Monday and the contract is holding on to the bulk of its recent gains. Key short-term resistance is located at $82.66, the Jan 18 high. Clearance of this hurdle would reinstate the recent bullish theme and expose $83.14, the Dec 1 high and $85.33, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, the support to watch lies at $78.45, the Jan 19 low. A breach of this level would signal a potential reversal. Trend conditions in Gold remain bullish and the yellow metal has traded to a fresh cycle high today. This confirms an extension on the uptrend and maintains the price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Moving average studies are in a bull mode position - reflecting the uptrend. The focus is on $1963.0 next, a Fibonacci retracement. Support to watch lies at $1878.5, the 20-day EMA. Short-term pullbacks are considered corrective.
