WTI Oil (Mar)
WTI oil bounced strongly on Friday, after hitting fresh low at 26.04 on Thursday. Friday’s strong bullish close that followed Thursday’s long-tailed Doji candle, could be seen as initial reversal signal.
The price is currently riding on the fourth, corrective wave, off 26.04 low, which part of five-wave downmove from 34.38 (29 Jan lower top).
The wave should be ideally capped at 30.30, where also 20SMA lies, however, extended rally to 30.70, Fibonacci 61.8% of 33.58/26.04 downleg, could be anticipated, before fresh bears re-focus 26.04 target.
Conversely, break and close above 31.00 (falling daily 30SMA), will signal stronger recovery.
Res: 29.63; 30.30; 30.70; 31.00
Sup: 28.86; 27.54; 26.94; 26.04
Gold Spot
Spot Gold accelerated lower overnight, to extend pullback off fresh high at 1263.
Friday’s trading ended in red, but was entrenched in a narrow consolidation, with today’s fresh bearish acceleration, signaling stronger correction of month-long, uninterrupted rally from 1082 trough.
Pullback is signaled by reversed overbought daily RSI and Slow Stochastic.
Fresh weakness approaches strong support zone at 1203/00; Fibonacci 38.2% of 1108/1263 rally / psychological support, followed by 1192, weekly Ichimoku cloud top and 1181, 10Feb trough, where extended dips should be ideally contained.
Alternative scenario requires close below 1167; Fibonacci 61.8% / daily Kijun-sen, to confirm reversal.
Res: 1232; 1245; 1263; 1285
Sup: 1200; 1192; 1181; 1167
