Today’s Highlight Has Gold extended its decline too far, for too long? The recent lows aren’t gaining new traction. Crude Oil is meanwhile trying to break out of a consolidation that has also extended for too long. Rallying in tandem would be credible.
Dollar Basket Jun Contract (DX, ETF: (UUP, UDN))
Narrow ranging Wednesday left the pattern intact, but momentum is in need of sudden volatility to pry price loose from its range.
Eurodollar Jun Contract (EC, ETF: (FXE))
Still in the process of decline, but the current range didn’t break lower Wednesday as price only ranged narrowly.
Gold Apr Contract (GC, ETF: (GLD))
Drifting lower Wednesday attacked 1300.00, so that now recovering 1317.00 and 1323.00 would signal and confirm a rally underway targeting at least 1342.00.
Silver May Contract (SI, ETF: (SLV))
The requirement to eventually revisit 20.70 above didn’t prevent Wednesday’s session from extending down to fresh lows attacking 19.75 support.
30-year Treasury Jun Contract (US, ETF: (TLT))
Wednesday’s gap down to 132-22 support was discussed during the Market Tour as having no excuse not to reverse up into negative territory. In fact, the recovery’s 133-22 target was attacked to within 1 tick at the afternoon’s high. Now holding 133-10 as support would allow the rally to extend higher to 134-06, but back under 133-04 would signal momentum reversing back down.
Crude Oil May Contract (CL, ETF: (USO))
Ongoing ranging defined essentially by 99.50-100.00 persisted yet another day Wednesday. Until the end, when a fresh high was probed and maintained through the close. So long as not rejected immediately, a breakout appears to be underway.
Natural Gas May Contract (NG, ETF: (UNG, UNL))
Tuesday’s gap up didn’t extend higher Wednesday, but neither was it rejected, as the session only ranged sideways. Pre-open action had suggested the lows could be retested before extending higher. Wednesday’s action doesn’t change that potential.
