WTI, Gold Price Action Tuesday Reinforces Bullish Theme

COMMODITIES

The WTI futures outlook is bullish and the recovery from Monday’s low reinforces this theme. The contract has defined a key short-term support at $81.30, the Oct 18 low. Note that resistance at $88.66, the Oct 12 high, has been breached. The break of this hurdle signals scope for gains towards $92.34, the Oct 10 high and a key resistance. On the downside, initial support lies at $85.30, the Oct 31 low. A downtrend in Gold remains intact despite this week’s gains. A bearish theme follows the reversal from $1729.5, Oct 4 high and the move lower signals the end of the Sep 28 - Oct 4 bull phase. A resumption of weakness would open key support and a bear trigger at $1615.0, Sep 28 low. On the upside, the next firm resistance is at $1683.0, the 50-day EMA.
