Alternatively, a reversal back above the 23.6% Fib at 2086.40 targets range support-turned-resistance at 2101.40.
GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices resumed their push downward to test support at 1163.43, the 50% Fibonacci expansion. A break below this barrier exposes the 61.8% level at 1149.35. Alternatively, a rebound above the 38.2% Fib at 1177.51 targets the 23.6% expansion 1194.94.
CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices continue to decline after taking out rising channel support. A break below the 58.17-78 area marked by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement and the February 6 close exposes the 38.2% level at 56.18. Alternatively, a reversal above the 14.6% Fib at 60.38 targets channel support-turned-resistance at 61.38.
