OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - WTI Tests Support At The 50-Day EMA

OUTLOOK
  • On the commodity front, Gold continues to trade closer to its recent highs. A bull cycle is in play and the recent breach of resistance at $2726.2, the Dec 12 high, reinforces current conditions. Sights are on $2790.1, the Oct 31 all-time high. A break of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the primary uptrend. On the downside, the first key support to watch is $2678.5, the 50-day EMA. A reversal lower and a breach of this average would reinstate a bearish threat. The 20-day EMA is at $2713.0.
  • In the oil space, this week’s move down in WTI futures marks an extension of the current corrective cycle. The 20-day EMA has been breached and attention is on support around the 50-day EMA, at $72.23. A clear break of the 50-day average would suggest scope for a deeper retracement. On the upside, a reversal higher would focus attention on $79.48, the Apr 12 ‘24 high and a key resistance.
