Gold Trades Within Close Proximity of 50-Day EMA

COMMODITIES

The uptrend in WTI futures remains intact, however, the contract remains in a short-term bearish corrective cycle. The trend condition is overbought and a move lower would allow this to unwind. The first key support to watch lies at $86.58, the 20-day EMA and is a potential short-term objective. On the upside, clearance of Tuesday’s $92.43 high would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and open $94.66, a Fibonacci projection. Gold traded higher Wednesday but quickly pulled back from the session high. The recent breach of the 50-day EMA does highlight a possible developing bullish threat. Key resistance is at $1953.0, the Sep 1 high where a break is required to confirm a bullish theme. On the downside, $1901.1, the Sep 14 low, marks a key near-term support. A breach of this level would strengthen a bearish theme and expose $1884.9, the Aug 21 low.
