MNI DAILY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - WTI Takes Out Support, Prompting Stronger Reversal

Price Signal Summary – WTI Takes Out Support, Prompting Stronger Reversal

  • S&P e-minis traded higher last week and the contract is holding on to its recent gains. The latest recovery still appears to be a correction, however, price has cleared the 20- and 50-day EMAs. Eurostoxx 50 futures traded higher last week as the correction from recent lows extends. Price has traded through resistance at both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. The broader trend condition is bearish.
  • GBPUSD traded sharply higher last Friday and this resulted in a break of resistance at 1.2289, the Oct 24 high as well as key resistance at 1.2337, the Oct 11 high. The move higher strengthens the bullish case and signals scope for a stronger short-term retracement. AUDUSD is trading lower today, extending the pullback from yesterday’s 0.6523 high. Despite the pullback, a short-term bull cycle remains in play. The pair recently breached the 50-day EMA and sights are on the key resistance at 0.6522. USDCAD traded sharply lower last week but has for now managed to find support - at yesterday’s 1.3629 low. The recovery means support around the 50-day EMA, at 1.3641, stays intact. This suggests the move lower between Nov 1 - 6 has been a correction.
  • The trend condition in Gold is unchanged - the uptrend remains intact and the latest pullback appears to be a correction. Price has recently breached key resistance at $1953.0, the Sep 1 high, and $1987.5, the Jul 20 high. The medium-term trend condition in WTI futures remains bullish and the recent move lower still appears to be a correction. However, the contract has breached support at $80.20, the Oct 6 low. The break highlights a stronger short-term reversal.
  • Bund futures traded higher last week. The contract maintains a firmer tone - for now - despite yesterday’s bearish start to the week. Price has recently traded through key resistance at 130.20, the Oct 12 high and a bull trigger. Gilt futures traded higher last week as the recovery from the Oct 23 low extends. The contract has cleared 93.82, 61.8% of the Oct 12 - 23 bear leg and 94.52, the 76.4% retracement point. The continuation higher signals scope for a test of resistance at 95.66.

GBPUSD traded sharply higher last Friday and this resulted in a break of resistance at 1.2289, the Oct 24 high as well as key resistance at 1.2337, the Oct 11 high. The move higher strengthens the bullish case and signals scope for a stronger short-term retracement. This has opened the 200-dma at 1.2435 and 1.2459, a Fibonacci retracement.

  • SUP 3: 0.8569 Low Sep 15 and a key support
  • SUP 4: 0.8558 Low Sep 11

The trend condition in EURGBP remains bullish and the recent pullback is considered corrective. Support to watch is 0.8659, the 50-day EMA. It has been pierced, however, a clear break is required to strengthen a bearish condition and signal scope for deeper retracement. This would open 0.8616, the Oct 11 low. For bulls, a break of 0.8754, the Oct 31 high, would resume the uptrend and pave the way for a climb to 0.8793, a Fibonacci retracement.

The latest pullback in USDJPY appears to be a correction. The trend condition is bullish and support at the 50-day EMA - at 148.47 - remains intact. Last week’s gains resulted in a break of 150.78, the Oct 26 high, that confirmed a resumption of the uptrend and has opened 152.20, a Fibonacci projection. MA studies are in a bull-mode position, reflecting the market's positive sentiment. A break of the 50-day EMA would signal a short-term top.

  • SUP 4: 155.83 Low Oct 4

On the downside, key short-term support lies at 158.16, the 50-day EMA. A breach of this average is required to highlight a top and the start of a correction.

AUDUSD is trading lower today, extending the pullback from yesterday’s 0.6523 high. Despite the pullback, a short-term bull cycle remains in play. The pair recently breached the 50-day EMA and sights are on the key resistance at 0.6522, the Aug 30 and Sep 1 high. A clear break of this hurdle would strengthen bullish conditions and expose 0.6582, a Fibonacci retracement point. Initial firm support to watch lies at 0.6388, the 20-day EMA.

  • SUP 3: 1.3496 50.0% retracement of the Jul 14 - Nov 1 bull phase
  • SUP 4: 1.3417 Low Sep 29

USDCAD traded sharply lower last week but has for now managed to find support - at yesterday’s 1.3629 low. The recovery means support around the 50-day EMA, at 1.3641, stays intact. This suggests the move lower between Nov 1 - 6 has been a correction. The trend is up and moving average studies are in a bull-mode position. The bull trigger is 1.3899, the Nov 1 high. A clear break of the 50-day EMA would expose trendline support at 1.3576.

Bund futures traded higher last week. The contract maintains a firmer tone - for now - despite yesterday’s bearish start to the week. Price has recently traded through key resistance at 130.20, the Oct 12 high and a bull trigger. A clear break of this hurdle would strengthen current bullish conditions. This would open 131.33, 76.4% of the Sep 1 - Oct 4 downleg. Firm support to watch is 128.31, the Oct 27 low. A breach would highlight a possible reversal.

BOBL TECHS: (Z3) Holding On To Its Recent Gains

A corrective cycle in Bobl futures is still in play and despite yesterday’s gains, the contract is trading closer to its recent highs. Key short-term resistance at 116.500, the Oct 10 high, has been cleared and this signals scope for a continuation higher near-term. Scope is seen for a move towards 116.966, the 76.4% retracement of the Sep 1 - Sep 28 bear leg. The 20-day EMA, at 116.116, is the first key support.

  • SUP 3: 104.720 2.00 proj of the Aug 24 - 30 - Sep 1 price swing
  • SUP 4: 104.620 Low Jul 11 (cont)

Schatz futures traded lower Monday. The broader trend outlook is bearish and recent gains are considered corrective. However, the contract did pierce resistance last week at 105.320, the Oct 10 high. A clear breach of this level would strengthen the short-term bullish condition and signal scope for a stronger corrective cycle. This would open 105.372, a Fibonacci retracement. Firm support is at 104.940, the Oct 26 low. A break would be bearish.

  • SUP 4: 90.38 Low Oct 12 2022 (cont) and a major support

The continuation higher signals scope for a test of resistance at 95.66, the Oct 12 high. A break of this hurdle would strengthen a bullish case. Initial firm support to watch is 92.63, the Nov 1 low. A break would be a bearish development.

This has strengthened current conditions and exposes 113.69, a Fibonacci retracement point.

The broader trend condition in Brent futures remains bullish, however, a corrective cycle remains in play and the contract is trading lower today. A continuation would expose the key support at $82.20, the Oct 6 low. Clearance of this level would be a bearish development. For bulls, a reversal higher and a break of $89.49, the Oct 24 high, would be seen as a bullish development.

WTI TECHS: (Z3) Has Breached Key Support

  • RES 4: $98.27 - 1.382 proj of the Jun 28 - Aug 10 - 24 price swing

  • SUP 4: $74.26 - 61.8% retracement of the May 4 - Sep 28 bull run

The medium-term trend condition in WTI futures remains bullish and the recent move lower still appears to be a correction. However, the contract has breached support at $80.20, the Oct 6 low. The break highlights a stronger short-term reversal. A continuation lower would pave the way for a move towards $77.03, the Aug 24 low. On the upside, a break of resistance at $85.90, the Oct 27 high, is required to reinstate a bullish theme.

  • SUP 3: $20.000 - Round number support
  • SUP 4: $19.904 - Low Mar 10 and a key support

A bull cycle in Silver remains in play and the recent consolidation appears to be a triangular formation - a bullish continuation pattern. Price has recently traded through the 20- and 50-day EMAs. The break higher strengthens bullish conditions and has opened $23.774, the Sep 22 high. For bears, a reversal lower and a break of $20.689, Oct 3 low, would confirm a resumption of the downtrend. Initial support to watch is $22.371, the Oct 17 low.
