Gold Makes A New All Time High: What Now?

 | Mar 06, 2024 06:35AM ET

h2 Gold XAU/USD:
  1. Gold's break above 2120 saw us retest the all-time high at 2135. But we did not sustained the break and reversed from 2141.
  2. A break above here is another buy signal initially targeting 2146/49, perhaps as far as 2160/62, but it is possible gains will be more limited in severely overbought conditions.
  3. I remain a buyer on any weakness (profit taking) although it is difficult to identify short-term support levels because the move higher has been so fast on Friday and Monday.
  4. We should have some support at the psychological number of 2105/2100 but I see the best support at 2093/90 and longs need stops below 2080.
h2 WTI Crude April Future/h2
  1. Unfortunately trading WTI Crude has not been so easy
  2. It's 2 steps forward and 1 step backward for this market.
  3. Prices have broken back below 7980/7930 with a high for the day yesterday at 7949.
  4. WTI Crude remains mostly in a sideways consolidation and keeps just finding new ranges.
  • We made a low for the day only 8 ticks below strong support at 7790/60 and longs worked perfectly on the bounce to my targets of 7860 and 7930, with a high for the day only 19 ticks above here.
  • We may have established a new short-term range from 7790/60 up to 7930/70.
  • Same support at 7790/60 for a buying opportunity again today with stop below 7720.
  • Targets: 7860, 7930, and even 7970 is possible.
  • A break below 7720 today however risks a slide to 7690 and 7600/7580.
