Commodity Corner
Crude Oil closed at 5,369, indicating renewed buying interest at lower levels. As long as it stays within this pattern, a move toward the upside is expected in the coming days. Further momentum is likely above 5,420. However, a breakdown below 5,275 could trigger downside pressure. A confirmed breakdown below 5,270 would invalidate the bullish structure and suggest further weakness.
Gold closed at 95,244 in the last session. A breakout on either side is needed to confirm momentum. However, holding above the 94,000 mark could be supportive for Gold in the short term. For intraday traders, a move above 96,200 may indicate upside potential, while a dip below 95,000 could trigger further downside.
Natural Gas closed at 250, in the last session. However, if it sustains above 262, further positive momentum could unfold in the short term. An intraday move is likely above 262, which may open the way for targets of 264, 267, and 275. On the downside, a break below 254 could trigger selling pressure and lead prices toward 251, 247, and 243.
