Price Signal Summary - Bear Threat In Oil Futures Remains Present

OUTLOOK
  • On the commodity front, Gold traded down last week and the yellow metal is trading just ahead of its recent low. The trend structure remains bullish and the move down appears to be a correction Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position and the move lower is allowing an overbought condition to unwind. A resumption of gains would open $2452.5 next, the 2.618 projection of the Oct 6 - 27 - Nov 13 price swing. The 50-day EMA, at $2301.9, represents a key support.
  • In the oil space WTI futures are trading inside a range. A bearish theme remains intact and the sideways move is seen as a pause in the downtrend. Price has recently traded below the 50-day EMA, strengthening a bearish set-up that highlights potential for a deeper correction. Scope is seen for a move to $75.64, the Mar 11 low. Initial resistance to watch is at $80.11, the May 20 high.
