Gold Spot longs at 1775/70 worked perfectly—we bottomed exactly here and continued higher as expected to the next targets of 1780 and 1787/88. A potential 15 point profit so far. Outlook is more positive after the strong hammer candle on the weekly chart.

Silver Spot is still unable to beat key resistance at 2395/2405 despite gains in gold.

WTI Crude September shorts at resistance at 6960/90 worked perfectly on the slide to the target and minor support at 6800/6780 . On Monday we broke minor support at 6800/6780 as predicted targeting 6700/6680 and 6600/6590.
