LONG TERM OUTLOOK ON COMEX METALS AND ENERGIES AS ON 3RD AUGUST
In the bigger picture, as discussed before, fall from 992.1 is either part of triangle consolidation from 1007.7 or a correction to rise from 865. We're slightly preferring the former case. But after all, in either case, there are still some possible scenarios that will bring more consolidation below 1007.7. So we'd stay neutral as long as 1007.7 resistance holds and be prepared for another fall before completing the consolidation. Nevertheless, the case of another deep fall to 865 is not likely. Break of 992.1 /1007.7 resistance will indicate that whole rise from 681 has resumed for 1033.9 key resistance next.
In the long term picture, medium term consolidation from 1033.9 should have completed as an expanding triangle to 681 already. Rise from there is tentatively treated as resumption of the long term up trend from 253 and will target 61.8% projection of 253 to 1033.9 from 681 at 1160 after taking out 1033.9 high. However, a break below mentioned 801.5 cluster support will argue that consolidation from 1033.9 is still in progress and will delay the long term bullish case
SILVER TECHNICAL OUTLOOK :-Comex Silver (SI)
Silver's fall from 14.09 was contained at 13.165 and the strong rebound from there aruges that rise from 12.435 might still be in progress. While such rise will now likely be stronger than we originally expected, there is no change in the view that it's merely a correction the five wave impulsive fall from 16.25. Break of 14.09 till target cluster level at 14.79/82 (61.8% retracement of 16.25 to 12.435 at 14.79 and 100% projection of 12.435 to 14.09 from 13.165 at 14.82). But upside should be limited there to conclude the correction and bring fall resumption. On the downside, break of 13.165 support is now needed to indicate that rebound from 12.435 has completed. Otherwise, short term outlook will remain bullish even in case of retreat.
In the bigger picture, we're still prefering the case that whole rise from 8.4 has completed at 16.25 already, after meeting 16.08 key medium term resistance, on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. The three wave structure indicates that such rise is merely correction to whole fall from 21.44 only. In other words, down trend from 21.44 is not completed yet. Break of 11.725 support will further solidify this case and bring retest of 8.4 low next. On the upside, break of 14.79/82 resistance zone is needed to be the first signal that fall from 16.25 has completed. Otherwise, medium term outlook will remain bearish.
In the longer term picture, recent development suggests that Silver's fall from 21.44 to 8.4 just part of a long term correction to the five wave up trend from 4.01. In other words, such down trend form 21.44 is possibly not completed and fall from 16.25 is tentatively treated as resumption of such fall that will eventually send silver through 8.4 low. Though, strong support is expected at 5.45/8.5 support zone in case of down trend resumption
NYMEX CRUDE TECHNICAL OUTLOOK :-Nymex Crude Oil (CL)
Crude oil's correction from 68.99 was contained above 62.44 cluster support (61.8% retracement of 58.32 to 68.99 at 62.39) as expected. Subsequent strong rally and break of 68.99 high indicates that rise from 58.32 has resumed and should now be targeting key cluster level at 73.38 with 100% projection of 58.32 to 68.99 from 62.7 at 73.36. While some retreat might be seen, break of 62.70 support is needed to indicate that rise from 58.32 has completed. Otherwise, short term outlook will remain bullish.
In the bigger picture, whole medium term rebound from 33.2 is likely still in progress as crude oil is still trading well inside rising channel from there. Current rise from 58.32 should be resuming such rebound and will likely make another high above 73.38, probably to 38.2% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 76.77. But strong resistance will likely be seen as crude oil enters into 76.77/90.24 fibo resistance zone. Hence, we'd look for sign of reversal and loss of momentum as crude oil as the current rise continues. on the downside, break of 62.70 support will argue that crude oil has possibly topped out earlier than we expect and break of 58.32 support will now be an important signal that crude oil has already topped out.
In the long term picture, there is no change in the view that fall from 147.27 is part of the correction to the five wave sequence from 98 low of 10.65. While there rebound from 33.2 is strong and might continue, there is no solid evidence that suggest fall 147.27 is completed and we're still preferring the case that rebound from 33.2 is merely a corrective rise only. Having said that strong resistance should be seen between 76.77/90.24 fibo resistance zone and bring reversal for another low below 33.2 before completing the whole correction from 147.27
NATURAL GAS :-Much volatility was seen in natural gas last week but after all it continued to stay in range of 3.225 and 3.904. Nevertheless, it looks choppy triangle consolidation from 3.155 is still in progress and could extend further. Above 3.094 will bring another rise towards 4.387 resistance but upside should be limited there and bring reversal. On the downside, a break of 3.225 support will argue that consolidation is possibly completed. Further break of 3.155 will confirm medium term fall resumption for 3.0 psychological level next.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 3.155 are merely consolidation to the medium term fall from 13.69, in form of triangle. Another rise might be seen before the consolidation completes but upside is expected to be limited below 4.575 resistance. As mentioned before, whole fall from 13.69 is treated as part of the long term consolidation pattern that started at 15.78 in 2005. Hence upon break of 3.155 low, further decline should be seen to 100% projection of 15.78 to 4.593 from 13.69 at 2.50. On the upside, however, break of 4.575 resistance will in turn argue that Natural gas has already bottomed out at 3.155 and could pave the wave for strong rebound to 38.2% retracement of 13.69 to 3.15 at 7.18 and possibly above
