Gold makes a new all time high after our buy signal was triggered above $2050

Gold

  1. The break above 2120 saw us retest the all time high at 2135. But we did not sustained the break & reversed from 2141.

  2. A break above here is another buy signal initially targeting 2146/49, perhaps as far as 2160/62, but is possible gains will be more limited in severely overbought conditions.

  3. I remain a buyer on any weakness (profit taking) although it is difficult to identify short term support levels because the move higher has been so fast on Friday & Monday.

  4. We should have some support at the psychological number of 2105/2100 but I see the best support at 2093/90 & longs need stops below 2080.

WTI Crude April future

  1. Unfortunately trading WTI Crude has not been so easy

  2. It's 2 steps forward & 1 step backwards for this market.

  3. Prices have broken back below 7980/7930 with a high for the day yesterday at 7949.

  4. WTI Crude remains mostly in a sideways consolidation & keeps just finding new ranges.

  • We made a low for the day only 8 ticks below strong support at 7790/60 & longs worked perfectly on the bounce to my targets of 7860 & 7930, with a high for the day only 19 ticks above here.

  • We may have established a new short term range from 7790/60  up to 7930/70.

  • Same support at 7790/60 for a buying opportunity again today with stop below 7720.

  • Targets: 7860, 7930 & even 7970 is possible.

  • A break below 7720 today however risks a slide to 7690 & 7600/7580.
