XAUUSD-GOLD

The instrument has broken above 1265 level 200 SMA and is going for the test of 1287 uptrend resistance. The daily close above this level is opening the upside continuation into 1330. The upside support is 1268-1285 zone. SL on long trade entries should be below 1260. No change in view.

goldXAGUSD-SILVER

Silver is above the 200 SMA and is testing this year highs 18.50 level again. The daily close above this level would lead to a 19.50-20 zone retest. Look only for long trade entries with SL below 18.00 on the support 18-18.50 zone test.

OIL

The instrument has reached the 50-51 zone again after the 53 level rejection. This is also 61.8% Fibo retracement of the last swing higher. The bounce from here will lead to a retest of 53-54 zone again. Staying aside for now.

 

NATURAL GAS

Natural gas is again retesting falling trend line 3.100-3.200 selling zone and is getting rejected from it. Look now only for the short trade entries with SL above 3.4000. No change in view the daily close below 3.200 wedge support line is required for the retest of 3.000. We have a wedge break and the test of 3.000 is in play as long as the instrument is below 3.300.

WHEAT

We prefer short trades for now. Rejection from 450 level and a falling trend line are confirming near-term bearish view. We have a daily close below 442 level also a 100 SMA and we could see a retest of 409 level. SL on short entries above 450. No change in view as the instrument is in the continuation rectangle and is testing 420 rectangles lower line.

 

COTTON 

The instrument is bouncing from the 73-74 zone and has broken above 78 level again. Staying aside for now.

 

COPPER

The instrument has broken below the 100 SMA 263.55 level and below the consolidation triangle 259 level. Look only for short entries with SL above 265 for now targeting 242.
