GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices have stalled above support at 1185.23, the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion. A break below this barrier exposes the 38.2% level at 1161.16. Near-term resistance is at 1224.15, the April 6 high.
CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices moved sharply higher to test resistance in the 62.98-63.56 area (February 17 high, 61.8% Fibonacci expansion). A break above this barrier exposes the 76.4% level at 66.16. Alternatively, a move below the 50% Fib at 61.45 targets the 38.2% expansion at 59.35.
