Gold, WTI Maintain Bullish Theme Close to Friday Highs

COMMODITIES

WTI futures traded higher Friday. The outlook is bullish. The contract has pierced resistance at $92.34, the Oct 12 high. A clear break of this hurdle would strengthen a bullish theme and signal scope for a climb towards resistance at $95.55. Moving average studies are beginning to display a bull mode position, reinforcing the current positive outlook. The contract has defined a key short-term support at $81.30, the Oct 18 low. Gold found support Friday and ended the week on a bullish note, closing at the day's high. The rally Friday resulted in a print above the 50-day EMA at $1679.2. A clear breach of the 50-day EMA would signal a short-term reversal and suggests potential for further gains near-term. This would open $1714.8, the Oct 7 high. Key support is unchanged at $1615.0, the Sep 28 low. A break of this support would resume the recent downtrend.
