h2 Today’s Analysis/h2

Gold now holding support at the 9 month trend line at 1861/59 today, for a strong buy signal targeting 1868 and 1875. We topped exactly here and this is now the main challenge for bulls. A break above 1881 targets 1885 and 1890, eventually as far as 1920/25.

First support at 1861/59. Unlikely, but further losses meet a buying opportunity at 1846/44, stop below 1840.

Silver topped exactly at first resistance at 2875 but above here can target 2905/10 and 2970/80.

Downside is expected to be limited with support at 2820/10. Below 2790 risks a slide to 2775/70 and 2740/30.

WTI Crude holding first resistance at 6510/25 targets first support at 6450/30. Longs need stops below 6400. A break lower to targets 6360/50 & 2nd support at 6320/10. Longs need stops below 6290.
