Gold

Spot gold formed a small pennant between $960 and $990, signaling continuation of the up-trend. Expect another test of the key psychological level of $1000/ounce. Continued narrow consolidation below the resistance level would be a strong bull signal. Retracement below the rising green trendline, on the other hand, is unlikely — and would warn that the up-trend is weakening.

Crude Oil

April 2008 Light Crude respected support at $100 to confirm the up-trend. The medium-term target is 100+(100-86)=$114.00 per barrel.

Currencies

The euro is testing short-term support at $1.53. Penetration would warn of a retracement to test the new support level at $1.4950/$1.5000 — which would afford traders an excellent entry point.

Retracements and advances tend to be symmetrical, with price advance after a breakout roughly equal to the previous retracement. The medium-term target for the upward breakout is therefore calculated as 1.50+(1.50-1.43)=$1.57.

The dollar is headed for a test of long-term support at 100 yen. The descending triangle on the monthly chart warns that support is likely to fail — which would test the all-time low of 80.

The Australian dollar is headed for a test of medium-term support at $0.91. Failure would warn of a test of primary support at $0.85. Respect of support remains as likely, however, and would signal another test of resistance at $0.94/0.95.

The Aussie is similarly testing medium-term support at 93 against the yen. Failure would mean a test of primary support at 90; while respect of support would indicate retracement to test resistance at 100. The first option (failure) is more likely, because of the prevailing down-trend. In the long-term, a fall below 90 would signal continuation of the down-trend — with a target of 90-(100-90)=80.
