Long-Term Technical Forecast for Crude Oil

This is a monthly chart of crude and it suggests that the drop from 147 is a large 4th wave. The 38.2% of wave 3 is at 64 and the 50% coincides with the June 2003 low near 50. A long term low will likely form in this zone (50-64), but probably not for another number of months.

Short-Term Technical Forecast for Crude Oil

Crude oil broke support at the key 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement of its long-term 57.00-148.00 advance at the 92.00 mark—opening it up to further declines through upcoming trade. Previous support at 92.00 now serves as resistance, and the next short-term target to the downside is set at previous spike-lows at the 73.86 mark. Overall momentum clearly remains to the downside—especially now that we’ve broken through important support levels. Shorter-term, we could see further correction to the topside, but the trend remains lower.

Long-term Technical Forecast for Gold Prices

Gold has surged but the rally may be a correction of the decline from 10480 to 740. The large multi-month decline is in 5 waves, although wave 4 is small in time compared to wave 2. A wave 2 top could be in place at 926 (although judging by silver’s position, the advance may have more to go), which is just shy of the 61.8% the entire decline (930). A push through there targets the 78.6% at 982.

Short-Term Technical Outlook for Gold

Gold seems confined within its incredibly wide multi-week trading range, and indeed we recently saw it bounce off of previous spike-lows despite today’s sizeable declines. Outlook for the COMEX contract will subsequently depend on whether it is able to break out of said range. Absent a breakdown, we could see gold trade up to clear resistance at the 925.00 mark.
