Gold Makes a Low at Buy Zone; WTI Crude Oil Rockets Higher

Gold XAU/USD:
  1. Gold trades in a sideways consolidation to ease severely overbought conditions exactly as predicted a week ago. It is perfectly normal after a swift move higher, but it is difficult to find opportunities in this phase.
  2. At last, we reached my downside target and buying opportunity at 2147/42 with a low for the day just below 2146. This trade worked perfectly with a bounce to 2162.
  3. Gold is likely to trade sideways for a little longer until we complete what is probably a short-term descending triangle. A break above 2170 would be more positive for today and could trigger a move towards 2179/80 and even a retest of the all-time high at 2192/94.
    We have minor resistance at the 2-day high at 2180/84. A break above the all-time high of 2195 should be a buy signal this week.
  4. We still have another buying opportunity at 2147/42. If we retest this level today, longs need stops below 2137.
  5. A break below 2136 however risks a slide to 2225, perhaps as far as 2020.
