GOLD Spot

Near-term outlook turned positive, as bounce from 1736, where price bottomed, following loss of 1750 base, cleared important barrier at 1765, previous high, and trendline resistance. Return to the levels close to the upside boundary of two-week range, increases possibilities of fresh strength and possible attack at key resistance zone at 1790/1800, Feb 2012 / Nov 2011 peaks. Break here also to signal an end of one-year cycle and possibly to open way towards gold’s record highs, as Fibonacci 161.8% expansion of 1790/1526 descend lies just above 1920, historical high. With hourly studies in overbought zone, consolidation ahead of 1787/90 peaks is not ruled out, however, improving tone on 4h chart, where indicators give bullish signal an a break above their centrelines, sees room for fresh extension higher. Immediate support lies at 1770 zone, where previous high / 55 day EMA and 4h cloud top are concentrated, while only loss of 1750 would signal fresh weakness.

CRUDE OIL (Nov)

Oil price recovered some of near-term heavy losses on a slide from 100.72, 14 Sep peak that bottomed at 88.94 yesterday. Bounce from here so far regained levels above 92.00 but gains were limited by overbought hourly studies and 4h 55 day EMA at 92.69. With still weak 4h chart conditions, downside risk remains in play, however, upside extension above 93.00 and regain of 93.50/60, Fib 38.2% of 100.72/88.94 / daily cloud top and 21 Sep high, is seen required to prevent oil price from fresh losses and signal stronger recovery towards another important barrier at 94.00, previous base. Conversely, failure under 93.17, 25 Sep high, would increase risk of lower top, as a part of broader downtrend and fresh extension lower.

Res: 92.69, 93.00, 93.17, 93.55
Sup: 92.00, 91.69, 91.00, 90.81
