Gold remains trapped in a bull flag pattern
|Gold remains trapped in a bull flag pattern as I have been warning for many days now.
-
We are waiting for the completion of the consolidation phase & bull flag pattern for clearer signals.
-
Yesterday we bounced from my target of 3245/40 after profit taking on our shorts exactly as predicted.
-
We beat minor resistance at 3280/85 to hit the next target of 3310/15.
-
Upper trend line resistance at 3336/3340 today - shorts need stops above 3345.
-
A break higher is a buy signal - we will assume that the longer term bull trend has resumed.
-
Targets: 3365/70 & 3395/99.
-
Shorts at 3336/3340 can target 3318/15 & perhaps as far as 3280/75.
-
Further losses can retest minor support at 3245/40.
-
A break below 3235 risks a slide to 3210/3200 today.
Silver
-
Silver STILL holding the upper end of the range around 3355/3375 (for around a month) as predicted.
-
Holding the upper end of the range this week around 3355/3375 targets 3330/20, perhaps as far as 3280/70 today.
-
A low for the week exactly here for the last few days and again yesterday in fact.
-
The levels are working well if you are scalping the sideways trend.
-
Watch the range from 3280/70 up to 3355/75 again today of course.
-
A break above 3380 however could be a buy signal targeting 3395/99 & 3420/25. A break below 3250 risks a slide to 3220/3200.
WTI Crude July future

We could have minor resistance at 6240/70 although we beat this level without a problem yesterday.
Further gains retest 6340/6410. A break above 6420 targets 6550/80.
We have a 2 week low at 6025/6002. A break below 6000 risks a slide to 5950/30 & as far as 5800/5770.
