Commodity Corner
Crude oil closed at 5,610, having broken below the rising wedge pattern formed since early July. This breakdown from the wedge pattern suggests weakening bullish momentum and the potential for a short-term trend reversal or deeper pullback.The price has also decisively breached a key horizontal support at 5,641, now turning that zone into resistance. The broader structure indicates that crude is entering a short-term bearish phase, especially after multiple rejections from higher levels near 6,172 and 5,914.The next strong support lies at 5,512, a level that aligns with the lower boundary of the June accumulation zone.
Gold closed at 100,672, having recently tested the key resistance zone near 101,500–101,600 marked by an ascending trendline from previous swing highs. The price remains elevated after a strong rally from the 97,500 zone and is now attempting to hold above previous breakout levels.Ascending trendline from July low supports bullish structure.Price consolidating near breakout zone; watching volume for confirmation.RSI & momentum indicators suggest slight overbought condition, so entry near pullback is ideal.Look to buy near support zone (101,350–101,450) with tight stoploss and aim for a breakout toward 102,000+. Avoid longs if 100,475 is breached on closing basis.
Natural Gas closed at 260. The recent price action on the 4-hour chart indicates a phase of tight consolidation following a significant decline from the June highs of over 326. The market is presently testing a previously established accumulation range and remains restricted below a near-term resistance at 279.1. From a technical perspective, the immediate support lies at 266.7, while a stronger support zone is seen near 246.5. On the upside, resistance levels are observed at 279.1, followed by intermediate and strong resistance zones at 315.4 and 326.1, respectively.
