Commodity Corner
Crude Oil is moving inside a short-term rising channel, indicating improving bullish momentum after weeks of consolidation. The price has recently bounced from the channel’s lower trendline and is now approaching the 5,400 resistance zone. The major supply zone remains between 5,480–5,540, where multiple rejections were seen earlier this is the critical hurdle for any strong upside continuation. As long as price sustains above 5,300, the structure stays bullish within the rising channel. A breakout above 5,400 strengthens the move, while failure to hold the channel support may trigger a pullback.
In the last session, Gold closed at 128,221. MCX Gold continues to trade within a rising channel, reflecting a stable medium-term uptrend, though prices are currently consolidating after encountering resistance near 132,400. The setup remains bullish as long as the lower channel trendline holds, with immediate support at 129,200–128,600 offering potential buying opportunities. A decisive move above 131,800–132,400 would resume the upward momentum toward 133,200–134,000, while a fall below 128,600 could shift sentiment weaker and pull prices toward 127,400–126,500. Overall, the outlook stays positive, but short-term consolidation may continue until Gold breaks above the key 132,400 resistance.
Natural Gas continues to trade within a well-defined rising channel, maintaining a strong short-term uptrend despite a recent pullback from the upper resistance zone at 456–458. The overall structure remains bullish, with the trend intact as long as price holds above the mid-channel region. The current dip appears healthy and may offer buy-on-dips opportunities around 444–446. A decisive breakout above 458 could accelerate bullish momentum toward 465–472. However, sustained weakness below 438 would signal a breakdown from the channel, shifting the outlook to neutral-to-bearish.
