Gold rally provides chance to sell

Momentum in gold has been weak since mid-January, and the rally this week was another selling opportunity.

The next targets are $1314, $1307 and then $1295. A barrier to further gains has been $1340, so a break above here is needed to clear the way to $1346 and then $1358.

Sellers remain in control for WTI

Over the past two weeks, WTI rallies here have been conclusively sold into, with the turn lower from $63 earlier this week no exception.

While a rebound is possible in the near term, overall it looks like the sellers remain in control, and we look for further declines towards $59 and then $58.
