Commodity Corner
Crude Oil closed at 5,887. Sustained above the breakout zone of 5,914 and continues to trade inside a rising wedge pattern, approaching its upper boundary. The price faced mild rejection near 6,090, signaling some supply pressure at higher levels. Momentum remains bullish, but unless 6,200 is cleared decisively with volume, further upside may pause. The zone between 6,370 and 6,465 remains a major supply area, where selling has occurred in the past. Immediate support lies at 5,914, and a breakdown below 6,115 may invite short-term profit booking.
Gold closed at 97,770. Moved upward after bouncing from support near 97,680 and are now testing the key resistance zone at 98,850â99,000. Price action is showing hesitation, indicating strong supply pressure around this zone. If the price breaks above 98,930 with strong volume, it may confirm a bullish breakout toward higher targets. However, failure to break convincingly may result in a correction back to trendline and support areas. The rising trendline (black) provides dynamic support. If 98,390 breaks, then further downside may open toward 97,680â97,151 again.
Natural Gas last session closed at 270. The price broke back into the 271.2â272.5 band, which previously acted as a resistance zone and now flips to support. Upward momentum is visible, but the overall trend remains under a descending resistance line, with a major supply zone between 277.5â278. Unless the price breaks and sustains above 277.5 with volume, upside is likely to remain capped. A successful retest and hold of 271.2 can offer fresh long entries, but a break below 266.7 may open downside toward 261.
