WTI Crude Oil failed to make much headway on the topside with 7679 the high. This leaves the market under pressure over the next few sessions to come quite a bit lower. 7520/17 is your first objective. Sellers would be advised to cover to here. You may see small buyers come in, but they will not hold if we lose 7500. A loss of this support keeps the immediate pressure to the downside targeting 7463 quite quickly. Technical indicators do favour a move lower so if buying, keep stops tight. Resistance remains in the 7684/7704 band and only a break above 7720 would negate further downside moves. Gold held 1228 and has come back higher to 1249 with today being at 1244. As we have broken back above 1239 it has taken the immediate pressure off the downside and makes the market now look poised to come back higher. Obviously we have the 1249 resistance to clear prior further gains, but the rejection of the 1224 support yesterday does suggest that the uptrend is back in favour and we can now trade higher. If above 1249 we look for 1254/55 initially. Once we can overcome 1255 there is no reason technically why we cannot trade back to 1266 and beyond. Now this obviously does depend on 1239. If we fail to hold over here then weakness is expected first to 1233/30 then down to 1224 where buyers are once more waiting.
