Price Signal Summary - Corrective Cycle In Gold

OUTLOOK
  • On the commodity front, Gold traded lower yesterday and is softer again today. The precious metal has breached the 20-day EMA and this signals the start of a corrective cycle. A continuation would signal scope for an extension towards $2217.4, the 50-day EMA. Note that a short-term bear cycle would allow a significant overbought trend condition to unwind. Key resistance and the bull trigger has been defined at $2431.5, the recent Apr 12 high.
  • In the oil space, last week’s move lower in WTI futures highlights the start of a short-term bearish corrective cycle. The contract has traded through the 20-day EMA and this has exposed key short-term support at the 50-day EMA, at $80.75. A clear break of the average would signal a stronger bearish theme and open $76.07, the Mar 11 low. On the upside, key resistance and the bull trigger has been defined at $86.97, the Apr 12 high.
