​​​​Gold and silver edge higher while WTI price targets fresh gains

​​​Gold’s bearish view held back for now

​Early trading on Monday has seen gold manage to rally off the 200-day SMA, after falling back from the 100-day SMA during the course of September so far. ​ ​Should the price manage a close back above the 50-day SMA, then additional bullish momentum could see the price mount an attempt to clear the late August high around $1950, and if this is successful, the late July high around $1980 then comes into view. ​ ​A close below $1915, last week’s low, hands the initiative to the sellers once more, and brings the August low around $1885 into view once more.

​WTI rises once again

​After a brief wobble last Thursday, the price has recovered and is back on the up once more. ​ ​A close above last week’s high of $87.70 would then open the way to $89 and then the October/November high at $92.95. Momentum remains firmly bullish, with the daily MACD continuing to rise, and the medium-term view has been supported by the mid-August golden cross of the 50- and 200-day SMAs. ​ ​So far sellers have been unable to wrest control of the price action, and for a pullback to develop we would need to see a close back below $84.

​Silver rallies off its lows ​

The price has made headway in early trading, although there is a long way to go before it can make up the losses suffered over the last two weeks. ​ ​If the price stabilises around these levels then a move back above the 200-day SMA might help to solidify a near-term low. This might then allow an eventual move towards the late August highs around $25. ​ ​A close below $22.84 would reverse this view and open the way to the August lows at $22.30. ​
