COMMODITIES

WTI futures traded higher Tuesday and a bull theme remains intact. Last week’s gains resulted in a break of $79.87, Mar 1 high. The move higher confirms a resumption of the uptrend that has been in place since mid-December last year. Sights are on $83.87 next, the Oct 20 ‘23 high. A break of this level would open $84.87, the Sep 15 ‘23 high and a key resistance On the downside, support to watch is $78.44, the 20-day EMA. The trend condition in Gold is bullish and the latest pullback is considered corrective and appears to be a bull flag - a continuation pattern. The yellow metal recently cleared $2135.4, the Dec 4 high, to deliver a fresh all-time cycle high. The break reinforces bullish conditions and opens $2206.6, a Fibonacci projection. S/T conditions are overbought, a deeper retracement would allow this set-up to unwind. Firm support is $2121.3, the 20-day EMA.
