Palladium futures are staging an extraordinary rally over the past three weeks and technically, there is no convincing signal at the moment that the uptrend could soon hit a strong turning point. Even though the RSI and the Stochastics have bounced back into the overbought territory, increasing the odds for a downside correction, the MACD has yet to show signs of reversing at a time when the price is still trading comfortably above the Ichimoku cloud and its simple moving averages [..]
WTI crude oil futures with delivery in March, are declining below the three-month ascending trend line, creating a bearish-to-neutral view. Momentum indicators are pointing to a negative bias in the short term with the RSI just below 50 and the stochastic oscillator is heading towards the bearish territory. The MACD oscillator is strengthening its downward movement below the trigger and zero line. In addition, the 40-day simple moving average (SMA) is pointing down and approaching the 20-SMA for a possible [..]
Gold came under pressure following the peak at a 7-year high of 1,611 but the 1,535 level rejected the downside move, sending the price slightly up. The upside reversal in the RSI and the rebound in the Stochastics suggest that there is still some room for improvement in the short-term, though with the MACD having recently reached a peak and eased its momentum below the red signal line, the price could probably gain ground only within this month’s range. Heading higher, the price could [..]
Brent futures bounced off the short-term ascending trend line on Wednesday, failing to extend the downward move. Currently, the commodity is trying to overcome the 40-day simple moving average (SMA) and the 64.85 resistance level. The RSI turned higher but is still the near 50 level, while the stochastic oscillator is gaining momentum after the bullish cross within its %K and %D lines in the daily timeframe. The bulls would probably challenge the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the upleg from 56.10 to 71.30 near 65.48. [..]
Copper futures for March delivery stretched their rally to a fresh eight-month peak of 2.8794 earlier today, exiting from the squeeze Bollinger Band. The near-term bias is looking bullish as the RSI is heading upwards near the 70 level, while the MACD surpassed its red trigger line, remaining in the positive territory. Should the price make another move higher, it’s likely to meet resistance at 2.9180 as this level has capped prices since late April 2019. A successful break above this key [..]
Gold has been on a tear lately, reaching heights not scaled since 2013 to temporarily breach the $1600 an ounce level. However, with risk appetite also riding high on the back of easing trade frictions, and US and Iranian tensions appearing to have been defused for now, what is keeping the popular safe haven at such elevated levels and can the rally be sustained in 2020? Trade war and central bank easing have been positive for gold The price [..]
WTI crude oil futures recorded a significant downfall over the past six days after they found strong resistance at the eight-month high of 65.60 last week. Currently, the price is flirting with the ascending trend line around the 57.70 support level, supposing a possible rebound on it or a breakdown. The negative slope in the RSI, which falls comfortably below its 50 neutral mark, and the downfall of the MACD near its zero line, they are painting a bearish picture [..]
Gold has declined considerably over the last couple of trading days after the touch on the almost seven-year peak of 1,611 on January 8. The price entered the Ichimoku cloud and is capped by the bearish crossover within the short-term 20- and 40-period simple moving averages (SMAs), assuming a negative correction. The technical indicators in the 4-hour chart seem to be neutral to bearish. The RSI indicator has just dropped beneath the 50 level with nearly flat momentum, while the [..]
Palladium futures sellers have emerged after the recent rally, which bounced off the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at 1783 and stretched the commodity above the upper-Bollinger band plotting a fresh all-time-high of 2111.23. The upward sloping SMAs continue to paint an improving positive picture as do the technical indicators. That said, the slight decline in the RSI – in the overbought territory – suggests a slight weakening in the existing bullish view cautioning for a pullback towards the mid-level [..]
Brent futures extended their Wednesday losses and are currently trading far below the eight-month high of 71.30, slipping beneath the 20-day simple moving averages (SMAs) and the blue Kijun-sen line. However, in the medium-term the price has a bullish view confirmed by higher highs and higher lows. The RSI turned lower after entering the bearish area. At the moment, it continues to head lower in support of a negative short-term picture. The bias in the very-short-term also looks bearish as [..]
