Technical analysis: key levels for gold and crude
WTI has clambered above $58 and retaken $59, but gold is struggling to recover from yesterday’s steep drop.
Gold recovers from drop
A sharp pullback for gold yesterday has been followed up by some buying, with resistance for now encountered at $1304.
Further gains target $1312, while a move back below the overnight lows of $1292 would suggest the sellers are back in control.
WTI recovers $59.00
The rally goes on for WTI, with a breakout above $58.00 leaving just $59.41 before a wider move towards $62.56.
Beyond this $64.20 comes in as possible resistance. A possible resistance could be $55.00 resistance in the event of a drop, but so far the uptrend remains intact.
