Gold, Silver, WTI Crude
Gold Spot shorts at the sell opportunity at 1895/1899 have worked perfectly all this week. Yesterday we bottomed exactly at first support at 1871/69 for a 25 point profit. A weekly close tonight above 1903 is a buy signal for next week.
Silver Spot stuck in a 1 month sideways trend, with first resistance at 2810/20 tested as I write this morning. Shorts need stops above 2835.
WTI Crude JULY Future crashed breaking 200 month moving average support at 6985/75 but bottomed exactly at good support at 6860/30 for a potential 200 tick profit on longs.
