Price Signal Summary - Oil Bulls Remain In The Driver’s Seat

OUTLOOK
  • On the commodity front, Gold has recovered from last week’s $1901.1 low on Sep 14. A break of this level would strengthen a bearish theme and highlight the fact that the recovery between Aug 21 - Sep 1 has been a correction. This would expose $1884.9, the Aug 21 low. On the upside, the breach of the 50-day EMA does highlight a possible developing bullish threat. Key resistance is at $1953.0, the Sep 1 high where a break is required to confirm a bullish theme.
  • In the oil space, the uptrend in WTI futures remains intact and the contract has started this week on a bullish note. The move higher confirms a resumption of the uptrend and maintains the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a rising trend. The $90.00 handle has been cleared and sights are on $94.66, the 2.236 projection of the Jun 28 - Jul 13 - Jul 17 price swing. Initial firm support to watch is $86.03, the 20-day EMA.
