Technical analysis: key levels for gold and crude

Gold’s move higher is still in place, although upward progress seems lacking. Meanwhile, oil has new highs in its sights.

Gold edges upwards

While gold is struggling to move above $1280, it is at least making higher lows.

As long as the $1272 area holds, another attempt to move higher is on the cards. A move below $1264 still reverses this bullish outlook.

WTI looks to fresh highs

The $54.00 level has been held for WTI, after a drop in the earlier part of this week.

The next target to watch is $55.32, the high from Wednesday, with $55.67 the next big level on the upside. Above this, $62.56, the mid-2015 high, comes into play.
