COMMODITIES: WTI Futures Recover From Monday's Lows
A bearish threat in WTI futures remains present and recent gains are - for now - considered corrective. A resumption of the bear cycle would open $65.57, the Oct 1 low, and $63.73, the Sep 10 low and key support. For bulls, a stronger reversal to the upside would instead refocus attention on the key short-term resistance at $76.41, the Oct 8 high. Initial firm resistance to watch is unchanged at $71.97, the Nov 7 high. Gold is unchanged and continues to trade below its recent highs. Trend signals are bullish and a move lower is considered corrective. A key short-term resistance at $2721.4, Nov 25 high, has recently been pierced and this represents a positive development. A resumption of gains would expose key resistance at $2790.1, the Oct 31 high. Clearance of this level would resume the primary uptrend. First key support is $2605.3, the Nov 26 low.
