Gold
-
Gold headed higher as predicted to strong resistance at 2648/52 and shorts needed stops above 2657.
-
This was tricky as Gold hit 2658 on the release of the inflation data in the US.
-
I hope that you managed to hold the short position!!
-
Gold crashed immediately after we hit 2658 and hit 2620.
-
I think we have completed the bear flag pattern and Gold will continue lower towards 2617/15 and eventually we will probably retest the November low at 2610/05.
-
A break below 2602 is a sell signal targeting 2595/94 and 2580/75, perhaps as far as 2565.
-
Gains are likely to be limited again today as we transition to a medium-term bear market.
-
I expect strong resistance again at 2648/52 and shorts needed stops above 2658.
Silver
-
We wrote: Silver looks likely we will retest the November low at 2675/65.
-
As I write we are testing this level as predicted.
-
Unfortunately, we missed the sell opportunity at 3080/90 by just 10 ticks.
-
WE HAVE THE NECKLINE TO A HEAD and SHOULDERS AT 2955/45.
-
This is obviously the key level for today.
-
A BREAK BELOW HERE IS AN IMPORTANT MEDIUM TERM SELL SIGNAL INITIALLY TARGETING THE 200-day moving average at 2905/00.
-
However, just be aware that the measured target for the move is down towards the 500-day moving average at 2670/60.
-
Gains are likely to be limited after the bull trap with strong resistance at 3030/40 - here shorts need stops above 3060.
WTI Crude January Futures
Last session low and high for the December contract: 6818 - 6937.
(To compare the spread with the contract that you trade).
- WTI Crude made a high for the day exactly at first resistance at 6940/70
- A break higher today meets the next target and resistance at 7030/60. Shorts need stops above 7090 here again today.
- Holding resistance at 6940/70 again today retests minor support at 6850/30.
- We made a low for the day almost exactly here yesterday.
- A break below 6800 suggests further losses towards 6775/55 and perhaps as far as the November low at 6680/50.
