Gold
-
Gold break above 2650 was a buy signal targeting 2661/64 & the break above 2665 then hit targets of 2670 & minor resistance at 2677/79.
-
We are just breaking above 2680 to hit the next target of 2691/94.
-
If you have been long Gold on the way up from 2603 according to my report this week, we are hitting resistance at 2691/94 - a short is a bad idea in this bull trend but we are severely overbought in the short term so a high for the day is certainly possible here & I would at least lighten up on longs.
-
Considering the huge profits, it may be sensible to exit and wait, especially as it is Friday.
-
Why blow some profits before the weekend?
-
However, if we continue higher look for 2706/09 before the weekend.
-
Support at 2675/70 could see a low for the morning but longs need stops below 2660.
Silver
-
Silver break above 3090 was a buy signal for this week but we have stalled just below the next target of 3160/65.
-
It looks like we could reach 3190 on a break above 3170.
-
Silver support at 3090/3080 with a low for the day here yesterday & longs need stops below 3060 today. (We just held above here yesterday).
WTI Crude January future
-
Last session low & high for the December contract: 6886 - 7038. (To compare the spread with the contract that you trade).
-
We wrote: WTI Crude beat strong resistance at 6880/6920 & made a high for the day at the next target of 6990. If we continue higher today look for 7040/70.
-
We hit 7040/7070 within 2 ticks - so a high for the day exactly here.
-
Support at 6970/50 today & longs need stops below 6900.
