FXStreet reports that Karen Jones, Team Head FICC Technical Analysis Research at Commerzbank, believes that gold’s rally higher will shortly encounter tougher resistance at $1806/12, where the yellow metal is likely to struggle.
“Gold has seen a strong bounce off the March lows at $1679/$1677, which is approaching tougher resistance offered by the 55, 100 and 200-day ma at $1806/12 and the resistance line at $1813. We suspect that this will repel the advance at least on the initial test and provoke some further consolidation.”
“Key resistance is the mid-July high at $1834, a move above here is needed to retest the $1856/57 4th June low and the $1878 2020-2021 downtrend.”
“Support at “1679/$1677 is reinforced by the $1670 June 2020 low."
FXStreet reports that Brent crude oil is threatening a top and strategists at Credit Suisse suggest that the top will be confirmed on a break below the $67.44 July low.
“Brent Crude Oil remains under pressure with weekly RSI momentum holding a clear top and bearish divergence to warn of a potential price top also.”
“Below the $67.44 July low would warn of a more serious break lower, for a move to $64.57 next, with scope for the 200-day average at $63.18.”
“Above $72.70 is needed to ease the pressure off the $67.44 July low for a recovery back to the top of the range at $75.78/77.84.”
