Commodity Corner
Crude Oil closed at 5,803. On the 1-hour chart, price shows a rejection from the rising channel resistance, failing to sustain above the 5,800 zone. Price is now retesting the immediate support around 5,760. A break below this may lead to a short-term correction, while a strong breakout above 5,810 could resume the bullish structure. RSI is hovering near 60, indicating mild bullish strength with potential for continuation if volumes support a breakout.
Gold closed at 97,800. On the 1-hour chart, price action shows a rejection from the descending trendline, keeping it in a short-term downtrend. However, it is currently trading above multiple horizontal support zones between 97,100–97,300, which could provide near-term buying interest. A breakout above 97,800 may trigger bullish continuation, while a breakdown below 97,000 could extend downside momentum.
Natural Gas closed at 304. On the 1-hour chart, price is showing signs of consolidation near the upper range of the rising wedge pattern. Despite a pullback from the 310 zone, it is holding above the immediate support at 305. A breakdown below 305 may trigger a corrective dip, while a breakout above 310 could extend the bullish momentum toward new short-term highs.
