Gold held back by resistance

All attempts by gold to move above $1230 in the past week have come to naught.

Resistance levels in the event of a move higher lie at $1235 and then $1261. Dips to $1220 usually find buyers, while a further decline targets $1214 and $1205.

WTI starting to bottom out?

If the price of WTI can move back above $70.30, then it is likely that the move higher will gain momentum.

A drop below last week’s low of $68.54 would suggest a dip towards the $67.00 area, the lows from the beginning of September.
