OUTLOOK FOR 11TH MARCH 2009
INTERNATIONAL SPOT GOLD VIEW FOR THE DAY AND NEAR TERM:Support at lower levels will be witnessed first of the channel and then of the retracement level of 882$.
Support Cluster will be in the range of 890$-873$ which could be tested during the day.
Some bounce back could be witnessed from the support range.
Resistance will be at 903$-915$-935$.
Spurt on intra-day towards 903$-915$ is possible as yesterday was the day of large wide movement on the downside. A relief rise to resistance is possible.
In case of fall and close below 873$ then expect the slide to move down towards 844$ to 806$.
Overall traders holding short positions can maintain a stop loss at 923$ to maintain short positions. Alternatively, cover short positions at support range and re-enter short on fall below 873$.
INTERNATIONAL SPOT SILVER VIEW;-Support will be at 12.46$-12.40$.
Sell further on fall and close below 12.40$ with high of the day stop loss or 13.02$ whichever is higher at the point of breakdown.

VIEWS OF COMEX GOLD SILVER AND CRUDE 8/3/09
Gold's correction from 1007.7 was contained at 900.40, above 892 support as expected and rebounded strongly. An intraday low should be in place and initial outlook will remain neutral for this week. Break of 936.10 resistance will indicate that such correction has already completed and will flip intraday bias back to the upside for retesting 1007.7 resistance first. Break will confirm up trend resumption for 1033.9 high next. On the downside, while another fall cannot be ruled out for the moment, we'd still expect downside to be contained by mentioned 892 support and bring rally resumption.
In the bigger picture, as discussed before, consolidation from 1033.9 has already completed at 681, in form of an expanding triangle pattern. Long term up trend is tentatively treated as resumed at this point and further rise should be seen to retest 1033.9 high. Break will confirm the bullish case and target 161.8% projection of 681 to 892 from 801.5 at 1142.9 next. On the downside, break of 892 support is needed to be the first signal that rise fro 681 has topped out. Otherwise, outlook remains bullish even in case of pull back.
In the long term picture, as mentioned before, Gold's long term up trend from 260 is still in progress. Break of 1033.9 will confirm that such up trend has resumed and should target 61.8% projection of 260 to 1033.9 from 681 at 1159 next.
OUTLOOK ON COMEX SILVER FUTURES :-Comex Silver (SI)
Silver recovered strongly after correction from 14.6 extended to 12.45 last week. Break of 13.33 minor resistance suggests that such correction has completed and intraday bias is flipped back to the upside for retesting 14.6 high. Break of confirm rally resumption towards next target of 16.00 medium term support turned resistance. On the downside, below 12.45 will indicate that mentioned correction is still in progress. But after all, we'd still expected downside to be contained by 11.77 support and bring rally resumption.
In the bigger picture, whole down trend from 21.44 has completed at 8.4 already. Focus now turns to next resistance at 16, with medium term falling trend line at 15.88 and 61.8% retracement of 21.44 to 8.4 at 16.45. Sustained break will confirm this case and argue that long term up trend is resuming and should target 21.44 high next. On the downside, break of 11.77 support is needed to be the first signal that rise from 8.4 has completed. Otherwise, outlook will remain bullish.
In the longer term picture, Silver's fall from 21.44 is treated as part of consolidation to the long term five wave rally from 4.315 and should have completed at 8.4 after being supported slightly above 76.4% retracement of 4.315 to 21.44 at 8.36. On resumption, the long term up trend should target 100% projection of 4.315 to 21.44 from 8.4 at 25.52 next.
NYMEX CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL OTLOOK:-Nymex Crude Oil (CL)
Crude oil's choppy recovery from 33.55 extended further to as high as 46.30 last week but overall outlook remains unchanged. Such rise from 33.55 is treated as part of sideway consolidation that started at 34.98 only. Hence, while further rise cannot be ruled out, upside should be limited by 50.47 and bring medium term down trend resumption. On the downside, below 39.44 minor support will suggest that rise from 33.55 has finally completed and will flip intraday bias back to the downside for retesting this low first.
In the bigger picture, while downside momentum is clearly diminishing with bullish convergence condition in daily MACD, there is no indication of a bottom yet. Price actions from 34.98 is still treated as sideway consolidation in the medium term down trend only. Break of 33.55 will suggest decline resumption towards long term trend line support (monthly semi-log chart) at 27 level or lower. . However, note that we'll continue to look for reversal signal as crude oil enter into 17.12/33.5 key long term support zone.
In the longer term picture, steep decline from 147.27 is treated as a correction in the larger up trend only and should be contained by 17.12/33.5 support zone and bring strong rebound towards 90.51 resistance level. Focus will remain on reversal signal for the moment.
NATURAL GAS NEAR TERM TECHNICAL OUTLOOK:-Nymex Natural Gas (NG)
Natural Ga's recovery from 3.916 was limited at 4.380 last week and weakened sharply afterwards and is now back pressing 3.916 low. Such development argues that recent decline might be ready to resume this week. Initial bias will be on the downside and break of 3.916 will confirm fall resumption to next target of 61.8% projection of 6.24 to 4.28 from 4.88 at 3.67.
On the upside, however, above 4.145 will turn intraday outlook neutral again and argue that consolidation from 3.916 is going to extend further before completion. In such case, another recovery could be seen to 4.38 resistance or above. Nevertheless, note that short term outlook will remain bearish as long as 4.88 resistance holds.
In the bigger picture, staying well below 55 days EMA at 4.845, Natural Gas' down trend from 13.69 is still in progress. Sustained trading below 4.0 will pave the way to next key psychological support at 3.0. Also, such decline is treated as part of the sideway pattern from 15.56 and could be heading to 100% projection of 15.65 to 4.3 from 13.69 at 2.34.
On the upside, break of 4.88 resistance will be the first signal that such down trend is bottoming, possibly with bullish convergence condition in daily MACD. Stronger rebound should then be seen to 6.24 resistance for confirming completion of medium term down trend.

A pullback towards Rs. 22577 – Rs. 22731 could be witnessed.
International Spot Gold ::
A bounce back from the 50% retracement has been witnessed. A pullback rise is possible of the fall from the peak of 1006$ to 899$ before making any further attempts to breakdown again.
Immediate resistance will be at 937$-940$
On further rise and close above 941$, expect a rise towards 952$-965$.
Traders holding short positions need to cover it at current price on dip during the day to 922$-904$ range as the opportunity arises.
The hourly chart shows the pullback retracement levels. From the hourly chart angle. Immediate support is at 930$-928$.

International Spot Silver ::
A rise towards the pullback level of the fall from 14.6$-12.41$ is in process. Expect higher range of 13.50$-13.76$ to be tested.
Support is at 13.20$-13.15$ and 12.86$.
Copper LME ::
Ascending trend line breakout was witnessed couple of days back. On the immediate front, Copper is likely to exhibit a sideways movement in the band of 3790$-3515$.
A fall and close below 3515$ will end all hopes of a further rise.

weekly views of gold silver as on 23 rd feb
Comex Gold (GC)
Gold's rally extended further to as high as 1007.7 last week and remains firm. From a short term angle, further rise is still expected as long as 969.5 support holds, targeting 1033.9 high. On the downside, below 969.5 will suggest that a short term top is formed and bring consolidation. But pullback should be contained by 892 resistance turned support and bring rally resumption.
In the bigger picture, as discussed before, consolidation from 1033.9 has already completed at 681, in form of an expanding triangle pattern. Long term up trend is tentatively treated as resumed at this point and further rise should be seen to retest 1033.9 high. Break will confirm the bullish case and target 161.8% projection of 681 to 892 from 801.5 at 1142.9 next. On the downside, break of 892 support is needed to be the first signal that rise fro 681 has topped out. Otherwise, outlook remains bullish even in case of pull back.
In the long term picture, as mentioned before, Gold's long term up trend from 260 is still in progress. Break of 1033.9 will confirm that such up trend has resumed and should target 61.8% projection of 260 to 1033.9 from 681 at 1159 next.
SILVER WEEKLY TECHNICALS:-
Comex Silver (SI)
Silver's rally extended further to as high as 14.58 last week. From a short term angle, further rise is still expected as long as 13.85 support holds. Further rise should be seen to next target of 16.00 medium term support turned resistance. On the downside, break of 13.85 will indicate that a short term top is formed and bring consolidation. Nevertheless, downside should be contained by 11.77 resistance turned support and bring rally resumption.
In the bigger picture, sustained trading above 13.88 cluster resistance (50% retracement of 19.55 to 8.4 at 13.975) indicates that whole down trend from 21.44 has completed at 8.4. Focus now turns to next resistance at 16, with medium term falling trend line at 16.12 and 61.8% retracement of 21.44 to 8.4 at 16.45. Sustained break will argue that long term up trend is resuming and should target 21.44 high next. On the downside, break of 11.77 support is needed to be the first signal that rise from 8.4 has completed. Otherwise, outlook will remain bullish.
In the longer term picture, Silver's fall from 21.44 is treated as part of consolidation to the long term five wave rally from 4.315 and should have completed at 8.4 after being supported slightly above 76.4% retracement of 4.315 to 21.44 at 8.36. On resumption, the long term up trend should target 100% projection of 4.315 to 21.44 from 8.4 at 25.52 next.
CRUDE WEEKLY TECHNICAL OUTLOOK:-
Nymex Crude Oil (CL)
Crude oil's recovery from 33.55 is still in progress and extended to as high as 40.13 last week. Such recovery should still be in progress as long as 34.16 minor support holds and further rally could be seen towards upper end of recent range near to 50.47 resistance. But after all, short term outlook will remain bearish as long as this resistance holds. Below 34.16 will argue that recent down trend is resuming for 30 psychological support next.
In the bigger picture, note that downside momentum is clearly diminishing as seen in bullish convergence in daily MACD. Weekly MACD has also crossed above signal line already. Also, crude oil has just drawn some support from another key long term support zone of 17.12/33.5. Hence we'll continue to look for reversal signal. Nevertheless, whole fall from 147.27 is still treated as in progress as long as 50.47 resistance holds. The current fall might still extend further to long term trend line support (monthly semi-log chart) at 27 level or lower.
In the longer term picture, the depth of the fall from 147.27 and touching of 33.5 resistance turned support suggest that whole up trend from 14.21 has completed. While such decline might extend further, it's still being treated as a correction in the larger up trend only and should be contained by 17.12/33.5 support zone and bring strong rebound towards 90.51 resistance level. Focus will remain on reversal signal.
NATURAL GAS WEEKLY OUTLOOK:-Nymex Natural Gas (NG)
Natural gas dived through 4.0 psychological support last week and reached as low as 3.921 before recovering mildly. Such decline should still be in progress as long as 4.28 minor resistance holds, towards 61.8% projection of 6.24 to 4.28 from 4.88 at 3.67. On the upside, above 4.28 will turn intraday outlook neutral first. But short term outlook will remain bearish as long as 4.88 resistance holds.
In the bigger picture, Natural Gas' down trend from 13.69 is still in progress. Sustained trading below 4.0 will pave the way to next key psychological support at 3.0. Also, such decline is treated as part of the sideway pattern from 15.56 and could be heading to 100% projection of 15.65 to 4.3 from 13.69 at 2.34. On the upside, 4.88 resistance will be the first signal that such down trend is bottoming and bring stronger rebound to retest 6.24 resistance

Monday, February 9, 2009
Gold faced tough resistance as it approached 936.3 key resistance and turned sideway. Upside momentum is clearly diminishing but after all, further rally is still in favor as long as 874.2 support holds. As discussed before, sustained break of 936.30 will be taken as an important indication that medium term rise is resuming and should bring strong rally to 989.6 resistance next. On the downside, failure at the current level, followed by break of 874.2 will be the first indication that Gold has already topped out and focus will turn back to 801.5 support in this case.
In the bigger picture, we're still holding on the bullish scenario. That is, consolidation from 1033.9 might have completed at 681 already, after completing an expanding triangle pattern. Break of 936.3 resistance will confirm this case and bring retest of 1033.9 high. On the downside, though, below 801.5 support will shift favors back to the case that consolidation from 1033.9 is still in progress and will have another test of 681 low before completion.
In the long term picture, the corrective structure of price actions from 1033.9 so far is consistent with the view that it's merely consolidation in the larger up trend. With Gold still trading well above 55 months EMA (now at 687.82) as well as trend line support (semi-log chart) at 632.88, it's believed that such long term up trend is still in progress. On resumption Gold should target 1100 psychological resistance next and possibly further to 61.8% projection of 260 to 1033.9 from 681 at 1159. On the downside, however, sustained trading below the mentioned support levels will argue that the long term up trend has completed at 1033.9 and much deeper fall should then be seen
SILVER WEEKLY TECHNICAL OUTLOOK :-Comex Silver (SI)
Silver rally extended further to 13.18 last week and is still in progress. From a short term angle, further rise is still expected as long as 12.135 support holds. Current choppy rise from 8.4 could extend further towards 13.88 key medium term resistance but strong resistance should be seen there. On the downside, below 12.135 will be the first alert that silver has topped out. Further break of 10.32 support will turn short term outlook bearish again.
In the bigger picture, the choppy price actions from 8.4 so far look corrective in nature. In other words, while choppy recovery from 8.4 is extending, whole down trend from 21.44 is going to resume sooner or later. Having said that, upside is expected to be limited by 13.88 cluster resistance (50% retracement of 19.55 to 8.4 at 13.975). On the other hand, a break below 10.32 support will be taken as an early alert that the down trend is resuming for at least a new low below 8.4. Firm break of 13.88 is needed to invalidate this bearish case.
In the longer term picture, Silver's fall from 21.44 is treated as part of consolidation to the long term five wave rally from 4.315. A medium term bottom might be in place after contained slightly above 76.4% retracement of 4.315 to 21.44 at 8.36 but there is no confirmation yet. Nevertheless, based on the time spent so far, we don't think the consolidation/correction has completed yet and some more range trading could be seen below 21.44 before finally breaking to new high.
NYMEX CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL OUTLOOK:Nymex Crude Oil (CL)
Crude oil had an extremely choppy week as it continued to struggle around 40 level but stubbornly refused to let it go. But after all, with 43.60 minor resistance intact, bias remains on the downside for at test of 34.98 low next. Also, while above 43.6 will bring some stronger recovery, short term outlook is still bearish for down trend resumption. However, considering bullish convergence condition in daily MACD, decisive break of 50.47 resistance will indicate that a short term bottom is at least formed and bring strong rebound.
In the bigger picture, at this moment, there is no confirmation of completion of the down trend yet. However, note that weekly MACD has crossed above signal line already, which serves an early alert that whole decline from 147.27 might be near to completion. Hence, downside potential might be limited even if such fall is going to extend. On the upside, above 50.47, which should then have crude oil sustained above medium term falling trend line, will indicate that whole down trend from 147.27 has completed. Stronger rebound should then be seen with prospect of rising to key medium term support turned resistance of 90.51.
In the longer term picture, the depth of the fall from 147.27 and touching of 33.5 resistance turned support suggest that whole up trend from 14.21 has completed. While such decline might extend further, it's still being treated as a correction in the larger up trend only and should be contained by 17.12/33.5 support zone and bring strong rebound. Focus will remain on reversal signal.
NATURAL GAS TECHNICAL OUTLOOK:Nymex Natural Gas (NG)
Late Friday's rally and break of 4.728 resistance affirms the case that a bottom is formed at 4.28, after drawing support from key long term support at 4.3, with bullish convergence condition in 4 hours MACD and RSI. . Short term bias is flipped back to the upside for 5.477 resistance first. Though, a break back below 4.522 minor support will dampen the immediate bullish case and put focus back to 4.28 low.
In the bigger picture, as mentioned before, we're expecting a medium bottom at around 4.3 key long term support and the development so far is consistent with this view. Further break of 5.477 resistance will 6.24 resistance will confirm that a medium term is finally formed and bring strong, sustained rally towards key cluster resistance at 8.88 (50% retracement of 13.69 to 4.28 at 8.98).
In the longer term picture, note that fall from 13.69 is treated as part of long term consolidation that started at 15.65. Break decisive break of 8.88 will confirm that whole fall from 13.69 has completed and should target upper side of the long term range between 13.69 and 15.65 next. However, note that firm break of 4.3 will invalidate this view and target 4.00 psychological support next.

FOREX EURO TECHNICAL VIEW: Just as we expected, the pair was able to reach its target at 1.3140 before rebounding back to the upside to breach the key resistance for the downside channel and close above it. We expect to see high volatility around the pivot resistance at 1.3330 where there is a possibility to form a positive technical pattern if the above mentioned level is breached with targets at 1.3740 and 1.3825. However, on the intraday basis, there is a chance to see slight downside movements to retest the key support between 1.3140 and 1.3180.
TRADING IDEA :: Buy the pair above 1.3205 with targets at 1.3325 and stop loss with a four hour close below 1.3105
NYMEX CRUDE TECHNICALS:A clear failure to breach the key resistance for the medium term decending channel we have pointed out to yesterday as crude returned to close below the level. The resistacne level for today has shifted to 47.00 - 47.40 followed by a major resistance at 48.50 and as far as trading remains below these levels, crude will continued to fall, Today we expect high volatility as seen on momentum indicators as they show crude being in an oversold area on the hourly charts whereas direction indicators are pointing to the downside. Support levle are found at 40.60 and 40.20 which makes us expect sideways movements between the 47.40 and 40.60 levels
COMEX GOLD TECHNICALS:As we expected in our previous reports gold doesn't have enough momentum to move to the upside as most of the indicators still support the downside outlook in addition to the bearish candlesticks pattern which confirms our previous expected scenarios. Any break out that occurs below 889.00 as shown on the chart will help the downside correction wave to accelerate towards 879.00 followed by 870.00 (The 1st cluster support) that gold will face before deciding to resume a further expected decline only sustained below 888 we may expect fall
USDINR (48.90) : With RBI making no change in the Credit Policy, expect USD-INR to fall further to 48. in coming days if 49.30 undisturbed
Support: 48.40/48.00/47.75.

FOREX EURO TECHNICALS:The pair returned to reach the 1.2840 level once again as it corrected to the upside between the 38.2% and 50.0% Fibonacci levels where there is a possibility to see a technical pattern to the upside with a neckline at 1.3020 with targets of breaching this level are at 1.3160 and 1.3200. A major resistance and pivot point for the pair is found at 1.3085 which was tested once yesterday where if successfully breached, the pair will target the key resistance for the upside channel at 1.3380
TRADING STRATERGY:Buy the pair above 1.3020 with targets at 1.3160 and stop loss with a four hour close below 1.2970
COMEX GOLD TECHNICAL VIEW:Gold is still moving in a tight range below the 61.8% at 852.00 levels as shown on the chart after failure to reach the extension target of the retrace from the lower line of the channel at 868.00 levels represented by the 76.4% Fibonacci. Most of the indicators show that the volume is too low without a clear signal up or down so they are neutral which means that the price explosion is on the way to relief the indicators. We expect that the price will move to the downside in particular if it broke the area between 845.00 and 842.00 then it will be a sign that the short term top is placed

VIEWS FOR 19-01-2009
The trend has turned up.
Ideally, cover short positions at market price and on dips to Rs. 13090 – Rs. 13036 or below as the opportunity arises.
As the trend is up, to minimize risk, intra-day traders can wait for a fall below Rs. 13036 and when it rises above Rs. 13036 then buy with whatever low registered below Rs. 13036 as a stop loss. Subsequently, book profits at Rs. 13250 – Rs.13400 or even 13800
INTERNATIONAL GOLD SPOT TRADING IDEA :-we had indicated that on sustained rise above 831$, the price rise towards 844$-868$ is possible. Similar view was indicated for the hourly chart view. Expect a price rise towards 865$-891$ where serious resistance could be witnessed.
INTERNATIONAL SPOT SILVER TRADING IDEA :- Resistance will be at 11.40$-11.73$. Support will be at 10.90. Traders holding long positions can look for rise towards the resistance level or above to take profit.But higher range should be used to book profits

VIEWS FOR 13-01-2009
MCX Silver Mar:- As expected a fall towards 17900 was seen. Any rallies to 18125 to find good resistance now. Structure looks positive for a bullish move towards 20530 as long as 17281/17363 holds. S1: 17800 S2: 17350 R1:18400 R2: 18720.
MCX Crude Oil Jan: Structure is bearish and favoured a fall towards 1786/1812 region. Extention to 1678 also is possible. Up ticks if any could be contained between 1863 & 1890. It needs to cross above 1915 to hint a slightly stronger recovery. S1: 1815 S2: 1765 R1: 1905 R2: 1960
NYMEX CRUDE TECHNICALS:Crude continues to trade within a descending channel targeting the 34.80 level as an initial target before reaching 32.25. The 36.85 level which is a pivot point separating the upside from downside movements where trading below this level will allow crude to reach the target faster. We need to keep a lookout for the 36.40 level which is a support level for the minor channel which could be a correction point before continuing to fall. The trading range for today is among the key support at 32.25 and the key resistance at 38.40
Friday, January 9, 2009
VIEWS ON COMMODITY FOR 09-01-2009
COMEX SILVER TECHNICALS:Volatile trading continues on the metal but below the key resistance for the ascending channel and below the 11.50 level. We expect to see sideways trading with some tendency to the downside but at any time the 11.86 level is breached, this will result in a new upside wave
NYMEX CRUDE TECHNICALS:After the decline witnessed the past two days, crude is not getting ready to rebound to the upside but despite that, the price is still in a downside channel on the short term but due to the rebound from the 61.8% correction at 41.00 and after retesting the minor resistances for the descending channel, we see that our expectations for a slight incline is logical but we don't see that today's increase will be enough to reverse the short term trend that is targeting the 39.60 level at the very least
MCX Gold Feb: Dips could be held above 13347 for a rally towards 13615. Such a move would also release the price out of a channel and might led it towards the next level at 13771. This is the favored expectation. Fall below 13347 would hint at failure and might open the way for 13142. S1: 13350 S2: 13285 R1: 13520 R2: 13610
MCX Silver Mar: Expect dips to 18086 - 17971 to support prices for a move higher towards 18779 -19059 levels . Only fall below 17785 to negate this bullish view. S1:18100 S2:17700 R1:18600 R2:18820

MCX Crude Oil Jan : Favored view expects a corrective rise towards 2130/2144 region before next decline towards 1893 or even 1832.It needs to rise past 2178 to hint at the possibility of failure of this view. S1: 2000 S2: 1965 R1: 2050 R2:2110

VIEWS ON COMMODITY FOR 08-01-2009
COMEX SILVER TECHNICALS:Sharp trading is witnessed on the metal but up till now we have yet to see trading above the key resistance where if breached, this will open the way for silver to incline. Despite that, we expect high volatility today similar to yesterday's session if the metal failed to breach the 11.83 level and build a solid base above it.
NYMEX TECHNICALS-Just as we expected, crude fell sharply since most of the trading was below the 47.90 level where we also expect the price to continue falling today. However, this doesn't mean that we will not see slight upside waves unless the pair falls to levels below 46.75 which will then open the way to 39.10.
The trading range for today is among the key support at 39.10 and the key resistance at 48.50
EURO TECHNICALS;The incline seen by the pair during yesterday's session took it near the 100 hour MA that is found at the 1.3660 level which is just before a minor resistance level at 1.3670. The pair will once again retest this level but failind to breach it will result in a reverse to the downside that will be confirmed by trading below the 1.3560 with a hourly close.
MCX Gold Feb: Expect 13374 - 13406 levels to cap the upside for prices to move lower towards 12872 levels. Only a rise above 13626 to negate this Bearish view. S1: 13150 S2: 13085 R1: 13320 R2: 13410
MCX Silver Mar: Initially we expect 18530 -18628 levels to cap rallies for prices to move lower to support levels which lie in a range of 17378 - 17181. A breach of 17180 will take price lower towards 16705 -16770 levels. However a rise above 18661 will signal that the expected dip may not materialize and prices could move higher. S1:18000 S2:17700 R1:18600 R2:18820

MCX Copper February: Expect 168.00 -171.00 levels to cap rallies for a move lower towards support levels which lie at 155.00 -152.75 levels. A rise above 171.35 levels could take the prices higher. S1: 160 S2:157 R1: 168 R2:172

OUTLOOK AS ON 7-1-2009
MEDIUM TERM TREND ON GOLD:Gold's trend has been in a neutral state for quite some time, as the short-term recovery from 682 battles the broader decline from 1032. This recovery has moved above the upper boundary of the broader bear channel, but it's having trouble with secondary resistance from 890 to 898. Still only a move above the 931 big reaction high from early October would mean the broader bear trend is losing the battle against the recovery. On the flipside, with the dominant cycle in its plateau phase, the key support to watch in the short term runs from 833 to 829. Only a break there would give us the first sign that this 20-week cycle is indeed topping. The next support zone from 811 to 798 would then come into focus
MEDIUM TERM COPPER OUTL LOOK(LME):-Bottoms to both the 20- and 40-week nominal cycles are overdue in copper, standing in contrast to the underlying bear that has controlled the trend since august. Proof is in the price action, and the recent move above 3380 is the first sign of a bullish resolution to this conflict. The next resistance runs from the 3582 Fibonacci level and the next important reaction high at 3840. Penetration of this level would drive home the bullish case opening the door for a run at the 4054 Fibonacci obstacle ahead of the 4820 previous wave (4) high
MEDIUM TERM NYMEX CRUDE OUTLOOK:-The sharp collapse in oil from the july high has been oversold since September, but only recently has it begun to actually stall. The recovery from the 32.40 trend low moved above the bear channel line and has recently probed resistance from the most recent reaction high at 50.05, the first confirmation that the bearish pattern of lower lows and lower highs is at least on hold,The next notable resistance is the next reaction high at 55.98. Momentum conditions are keeping the wind at the back of this recovery, but it'll take a move above a tough Fibonacci cluster in the 62.22/64.64 region to make a strong case for a notable bull trend unfolding
GLOBAL MCX COMMODITY OUT LOOK AS ON 7-1-2009
MCX Gold Feb: Support at 13100 has been tested and now the price can stay above that level for inching up further towards next resistance points at 13808 followed by 13901. The ideal projected target falls at 14447 for the present structure. Intraday dips should ideally hold above 13278/13309.Fall below 13245 would warn about the possibility of failure of this view.S1: 13285 S2: 13200 R1: 13450 R2: 13525
MCX Silver Mar: A dip to 18449/18366 is anticipated. If it proceeds further down below 18350 the decline could accelerate towards 17987. It has to rise above 18860 to turn bullish for attempting 19107/19272. As of now indicators favor the downside. S1:18150 S2:18000 R1:18600 R2:18820
MCX Copper February: Daily chart shows a potential to rise towards 196.00. Supports are near 170.30 $ 167.60. Projected target falls near 181.33. It needs to fall below 162.70 to hint at a stronger pullback.S1: 166 S2:162 R1: 175 R2:180
MCX Crude Oil Jan : Supports near 2295/2290 or 2202 could hold corrective dips. The structure is bullish for a rise towards 2550 or even 2617. Fall below 2181 would cause doubts about maintaining this bullish stance. S1: 2340 S2: 2285 R1: 2465 R2:2510

FOREX TECHNICAL VIEW ON EURO FOR THE DAY:The euro entered the downside wave expected which was quite vigorous taking the pair near the 1.3310 level yet was able to rebound as we currently see trading above the 100% correction at 1.3475 where from there we expect the pair could find the chance to correct to the upside. However, the general trend for the pair remains to the downside and any upside correction will be an attempt to gather bearish momentum to reverse once again. At any moment trading falls below the 1.3475 level, the downside trend will continue
TRADING IDEA:Buy above 1.3505 with targets at 1.3575 and stop loss with a four hour close below Buy above 1.3505 with targets at 1.3575 and stop loss with a four hour close below 1.3470. If the stop loss is triggered, sell the pair below 1.3475 with targets at 1.3375 and stop loss with a four hour close above 1.3540
COMEX GOLD TECHNICAL VIEW FOR THE DAY:-Yesterday we pointed out that after the fall, we expect to see volatility in the markets. After yesterday's decline, the metal rebounded back to the upside before slightly dropping today during the early session. Gold is now seen to enter a sideways channel between the 880 and 830 levels to complete the bearish trend. Today we could also see slight inclines but we don't expect it to affect the short term trend. The short term downside trend will be reversed only if we see a successful breakout of the 890.55 level
COMEX SILVER TECHNICAL VIEW:The fall didn't continue yesterday for long as it rebounded back to the upside but failed to form a top higher than the previous top during the beginning of the week and therefore the downside trend remains dominating silver. We see the metal in an overbought area on the stochastic indicator on the four hour charts where from there we expect to see high volatility with slight tendency to the downside
NYMEX CRUDE TECHNICAL VIEW:After reversing from the minor resistance level at 50.15 and before reaching the suggested taret near the 50 day MA at 51.45, crude entered a downside wave that is expected to continue falling to reach the support level at 38.75 affected by a negative technical trend that will be confirmed if trading remains below 47.90. The next downside target is 45.85 and 45.25 as far as trading remains below the above mentioned level.
