XAUUSD-GOLD
Gold is rejected from downside support zone 1215-1230 and a daily break below 1160 is required for downside continuation. Look for short opportunities with SL above 1215. The possible double top formation has been formed with the neckline at 1190 being tested now. The first target on shorts after that is 1169.
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 16.80-17.20 zone. A daily break below 16.50 is needed for downside continuation. Only the daily break above 17.90 will invalidate the medium term downtrend.
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 rejected from a broken wedge line and look only for short trades here for now. Falling trend line and 3.500 level are strong downside support. The near-term falling trend line has been broken to the upside. Look for now for short opportunities around 3.650-3.700 zone with SL above 3.700. Invalidation of the medium-term downtrend only on a break above 3.700.
WHEAT
Is forming a flag below 200 SMA 452 level. It needs a break below 400 for downside continuation. Looking only for shorts here for now with SL above 450 targeting 391 and 363. No change in view.
COTTON
Cotton longs have reached their first target which is also the strong upside resistance. Look for longs as long as 71.80 level holds and move the SL on longs to break even. Fresh longs only on a break above 75.35.
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 from here. No change in view we have a rejection from 260-270 zone and copper could be in a 230-260 range.
