Price Signal Summary - Gold Bears Eyeing Channel Support

OUTLOOK
  • On the commodity front, Gold remains in a bearish cycle. The yellow metal last week cleared support at $1976.1, the 50-day EMA and $1969.3, the Apr 19 low. The clear break of this support zone highlights a stronger bearish threat and opens $1934.3, the Mar 22 low and $1926.9, a bull channel support drawn from Nov 3 2022. Key resistance and the bull trigger is at $2063.0, May 4 high. Initial resistance is at $1996.4, the 20-day EMA.
  • In the oil space, a short-term bearish threat in WTI futures remains present and initial resistance at $73.81, the May 10 high, is intact. A resumption of weakness and a break of $69.39, the May 15 low, would strengthen near-term bearish conditions. The recent print below $64.67, the Mar 20 low and a key support, is a key bearish development. A clear break of it would resume the broader downtrend.
