Technical analysis: key levels for gold and crude

Gold’s decline has stalled, but shows no sign of turning higher yet, while oil is still in retreat.

Gold looks set to continue the downward move

The small bounce off $1241 seems to be running out of steam for gold, and thus it looks like the downward move will continue if $1241 is broken. The low from May at $1214, is the next target.

We would need to see a move above $1255 to really show that a bounce is in play.

WTI in a bearish zone  

Another drop for oil yesterday took WTI into a bear market, with no sign of a turnaround here either. On the daily chart, if $42.80 breaks then $39.60 is the next target.

Bulls need a move above $45.30 to increase the prospect of a bounce.
