I am a Senior Market Analyst for www.TradingEducation.com a FREE educational website. I have been involved with the stock, financial and futures markets for more than 20 years.

Not long after I began my career in financial journalism, I began studying technical analysis. My extensive studies of technical analysis and knowledge of markets led to several positions, including chief technical analyst at several reputable companies.

« U.S. Dollar Starting Out Weak Again; Other Markets Watching Greenback | Main | U.S. Stock Indexes Weaker Early »

Gold Bulls Starting the Week Strong

GOLD

Gold is trading higher in early dealings today. Bulls still have the solid near-term technical advantage. For December gold, shorter-term technical support is seen at the overnight low of $736.50 and then at $734.00. Sell stops likely reside just below those levels. Buy stops likely reside just above resistance at the overnight high of $743.90 and then just above resistance at last week's high of $747.10. Today's key near-term Fibonacci support/resistance level: $733.50. Wyckoff's Intra-Day Market Rating: 8.0


CRUDE OIL

Crude oil prices are weaker in early electronic dealings. In November crude, look for buy stops to reside just above resistance at the overnight high of $81.60 and then just above resistance at $82.00. Look for sell stops just below technical support at the overnight low of $80.66, and then more sell stops just below support at $80.00. Today's key near-term Fibonacci support/resistance level: $80.45. Wyckoff's Intra-Day Market Rating: 7.0

GRAINS

Prices were higher in overnight trading, with wheat leading gains. Estimates of the Australian wheat crop continue to drop, and worldwide demand continues strong as end-users are stockpiling on fears of supply shortages. Corn bulls have solid fresh upside technical momentum, amid a fresh focus by traders on demand prospects going forward. Beans are still fully technically bullish with no clues of a market top being close at hand.
