Gold

  • Gold (XAU/USD) finally beat resistance at 2335/40 mid-last week for our buy signal and then a downward revision to the May NFP number,  higher than expected unemployment and lower average earnings sent Gold higher on expectations of a rate cut, as predicted.
  • The break above 2371 was our buy signal on Friday targeting 2377/79 and 2384/86 for profit-taking before the weekend.
  • Prices reached as far as 2392 by the close.  A great trade if you were quick enough to catch it.
  • Although overbought in the short term, I think further gains are likely at the start of this week. A break above 2395 is the next buy signal targeting 2405/07 and perhaps as far as 2422/25.
  • I would be a buyer if we see any weakness on Monday but the only support I can identify is quite a long way down at 2371/68. Longs need stops below 2364.
    Targets: 2377, 2384, 2390

Gold Price-Daily Chart

Silver

  • Silver (XAG/USD) I said was forming a bull flag, meaning eventually we will break higher for a buy signal. That has happened last week and beating 3015 helped that buy signal and we shot higher to 3080/85 on Friday, then beating 3090 for another buy signal.
  • My targets were 3105/10 and 3130/35, even 3150/55 I said was possible.
  • Silver rocketed to 3148, so we only missed my 3rd target by 2 ticks.
  • A great trade if you were quick enough to jump in on the buy signal.
  • Now that we have broken higher and completed the bull flag pattern, I expect the downside to be limited and I expect to see further gains this week.
  • First support at 3085/75 and longs need stops below 3065.
  • A break above 3155 is the buy signal for this week targeting 3175 and 3200/10, perhaps as far as 3230. 

WTI Crude August Future

Last session low and high for the AUGUST contract: 8302 - 8452.
(To compare the spread with the contract that your trade).

  1. WTI Crude August has traded sideways for 3 days and we have 2 candles with long upper wicks, suggesting there is profit taking around 8430/50.
    Again we meet minor support at 8270/40 which could hold the downside again today. Longs need stops below 8225.
  2. A break below 8225 is a sell signal targeting 8160.
  3. A break above 8450 is the next buy signal targeting 8490 and 8520.
