Commodity Weekly Technical Outlook

ONG Focus - Technical Written by Oil N' Gold
Comex Gold (GC)
Gold's recovery was limited at 1142.9 after hitting 4 hours 55 EMA and fall from 1227.5 resumed and reached as low as 1097.4. Initial bias remains on the downside this week and further fall should be seen to 50% retracement of 931.3 to 1227.5 at 1079.4 next. On the upside, above 1142.9 resistance will argue that a short term bottom is formed and bring stronger recovery. But after all, upside should be limited below 1227.5 and bring another fall to continue the correction. In the bigger picture, rise from 681 is expected to develop into a set of five wave sequence with first wave completed at 1007.7, second wave triangle consolidation completed at 931.3. Rise from 931.3 is treated as the third wave and has possibly completed at 1227.5 after missing 100% projection of 681 to 1007.7 from 931.3 at 1258. Deeper pull back could now be seen to 1026.9/1072 support zone, or even further to retest 1000 psychological level. But downside should be contained well above 931.3 support and bring up trend resumption to another high above 1227.5.
In the long term picture, rise form 681 is treated as resumption of the long term up trend from 1999 low of 253 after interim consolidation from 1033.9 has completed in form of an expanding triangle. Next long term target is 100% projection of 253 to 1033.9 from 681 at 1460 level. We'll hold on to the bullish view as long as 931.3 structural support holds.

Comex Silver (SI)
Silver's recovery was limited at 17.81 last week after failing to sustain above 4 hours 55 EMA and weakens again. Initial bias is cautiously on the downside this week for 16.90 low first. Break there will confirm resumption of whole fall from 19.50 and should target 16.12 key support next. On the upside, above 17.81 will indicate that consolidations from 16.90 is still progress. But after all, upside should be limited by 61.8% retracement of 19.50 to 16.90 at 18.50 and bring fall resumption.In the bigger picture, rise from 12.435 should have completed at 19.50 on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD, after just missing 19.55/21.55 resistance zone. Break of 16.12 support will confirm this case and should target lower trend line support at 13.88 level. This will also be the another signal that whole medium term rise from 8.4 has finished too. Sustained break of the lower trend line support will confirm this medium term bearish case and bring further fall towards 8.4 low. Also, note that whole medium term rise from 8.4 is is treated as part of the long term, wide range, consolidation pattern that started at 21.44 back in Mar 08. Hence, even in case of another rise, upside is expected to be limited inside this 19.55/21.44 resistance zone and bring another medium term fall.In the longer term picture, the up trend from 01 low of 4.01 topped out at 21.44 and subsequent price actions are treated as correction/consolidation to this up trend. Fall from 21.44 completed after drawing support form 8.5 key level. However, subsequent rally from 8.4 is not displaying a clear impulsive structure and hence, we'd prefer the case that it's just the second wave of the wide range consolidation pattern. Another medium term fall should still be seen for retesting 8.5 before completing the consolidation. Nevertheless, strong support is still expected at 5.45/8.5 support zone to conclude the consolidation.

Nymex Crude Oil (CL)
Crude oil's recovery from 68.58 extend further to as high as 74.69 last week and is probably still in progress. Further rise could still be seen initially this week. But after all, upside is expected to be limited by 61.8% retracement at 76.87 and bring resumption of the fall from 82.0. On the downside, below 71.21 will indicate that recovery from 68.58 has completed and will flip intraday bias for this support first. Break will target 65.05 key support next. However, decisive break of 76.87 fibo resistance will argue that fall from 82.0 has completed and will turn focus back to this resistance.In the bigger picture, at this point, crude oil is still limited by 55 days EMA (now at 74.52) and hence, we're favoring the case that medium term rise from 33.2 has completed at 82.0 with bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. Another fall is expected after finishing the current recovery from 68.58 and a break there will target 58.32 cluster support (50% retracement of 33.2 to 82 at 57.60). Break there will confirm this bearish case and indicate that the down trend from 147.27 might be resuming for another low below 33.2. However, sustained trading above mentioned 76.87 will dampen this bearish view and argue that another high above 82.0 might be seen before crude oil tops in 76.77/90.24 fibo resistance zone. In the long term picture, there is no change in the view that fall from 147.27 is part of the correction to the five wave sequence from 98 low of 10.65. While the rebound from 33.2 is strong and might continue, there is no solid evidence that suggest fall 147.27 is completed and we're still preferring the case that rebound from 33.2 is merely a corrective rise only. Having said that strong resistance should be seen between 76.77/90.24 fibo resistance zone and bring reversal for another low below 33.2 before completing the whole correction from 147.27.
