The yellow metal has breached resistance at the 20-day EMA and attention turns to the 50-day EMA, at $1931.4. A clear break of this average would strengthen the current bull cycle.

  • In the oil space, the uptrend in WTI futures remains intact, however, a corrective cycle is in play for now. Wednesday’s move lower resulted in a print below support at $78.33, the Aug 3 low. A clear break of this level would highlight a stronger bear cycle and pave the way for a deeper retracement. Note that a key support lies at the 50-day EMA, which intersects at $77.42.
