XAUUSD-GOLD
Gold is again below 200 SMA 1281 level calling for more weakness. Targets on the downside are 1190 and 1170. Target is being hit and now downside support is 1200. Look for chances of short position here. SL should be above 1200. No change in view below 1169 targets is 1100 and 1080. Reaching the extreme retracement level for shorts.
XAGUSD-SILVER
Silver is retracing recent swing lower but is still in a downtrend. Target on the downside is 15. SL on shorts here should be above 17. No change in view. Look to fade any rallies to 16.80-17 zone.
OIL
Has reached strong upside resistance 52-54 zone and we expect rejection here for a sideways price action between 45-50 in the coming days and weeks. SL on shorts here should be above 55. No change in view and we expect Oil to test 48 on the downside after the triangle break and retest.
NATURAL GAS
Natural has is retesting broken uptrend line and is being rejected at the key 3.800 level and is continuing lower. SL on shorts should be above 3.8000 targeting 3.000 near term. Buying only on a clear break and close above 4.000. Support for this swing lower is 3.390-3.500 zone. Retest of broken wedge is under way look for reaction in support zone.
WHEAT
Is forming a flag below 200 SMA 452 level. It needs a break below 400 for downside continuation.
COTTON
Watching 71.84 for a clear directional break. We have a break from the triangle and above 71.80. If you haven’t entered long on breaking you should wait for the pullback to 72.50-73.50 for long entries. The pullback is in progress and longs here should have 71.20 SL. Target is 78.
COPPER
Long term view published HERE. Major triangle break and we see this as long trading opportunity SL should be below 214 targeting 280 and higher. Target zone 270-280 has been hit and we could see little hesitation around 200 SMA (blue line) 277 level. Watching price action here. So far rejection is on away and we could see the retest of 250 in the coming days and weeks. We have a retest of 250-260 now and correction could extend to 235-240 if we get a rejection form here.
Commodities rising with stock indices and we are bullish on most of them except gold, silver, and energies for now.
