OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - WTI Bear Threat Remains Present

OUTLOOK
BulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets
  • On the commodity front, the long-term trend condition in Gold remains bullish and the Oct 31 - Nov 14 bear leg appears to have been a correction. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend. Monday’s move lower is - for now - considered corrective, despite it being a very sharp pullback. Resistance to watch is $2721.4, Monday’s high. Key support to monitor is $2536.9, the Nov 14 low. A break would be bearish.
  • In the oil space, a bearish threat in WTI futures remains present and Monday’s move lower reinforces this theme. Attention is on $65.74, the Oct 1 low, and $63.90, the Sep 10 low and key support. For bulls, a stronger reversal to the upside would instead refocus attention on the key short-term resistance at $77.04, the Oct 8 high. Initial firm resistance to watch is unchanged at $72.41, the Nov 7 high.
