old closed higher on Wednesday and the high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Thursday. Stochastics and the RSI are neutral to bullish signalling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If it renews this year's rally, the 75% retracement level of the December-February decline crossing is the next upside target. Closes below last Monday's low crossing would confirm that a short-term top has been posted.
Silver closed lower on Wednesday and the mid-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Thursday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signalling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If it extends the rally off February's low, January's high crossing is the next upside target. Closes below last Monday's low crossing would confirm that a short-term top has been posted.
Crude Oil closed higher on Wednesday and below the 20-day moving average crossing. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady higher opening on Thursday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signalling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If it extends last Friday's rally, the reaction high crossing is the next upside target. Closes below last Thursday's high crossing would open the door for a larger-degree decline into early-May.
Yesterday's candlestick formation proves how the trading range was very tight. Thus; we still see that the metal is preparing to achieve potential upside movements in order to resume the CD leg of the suggested harmonic AB=CD pattern. A stable move above 18.35 is needed to confirm the scenario. Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying silver from 18.25 targeting 18.90 and stop loss below 17.70 might be appropriate
Gold
Gold is moving within a very tight range since the opening of this week. Therefore, we still see chances for completing the CD leg of the suggested harmonic structure, while being carried above SMA 50. We just need a clear penetration for the pivotal resistance level of 1162.00 to be confirmed that, the bullishness might control the movements over intraday basis. Recommendation: Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying gold with a breakout above 1162.00 targeting 1187.00 and stop loss below 1139.00 might be appropriate.
The metal has found a very solid support around 17.80 zones that helped it to incline, forming a bullish candlestick formation as seen on the provided daily chart. Now, further bullishness could be seen during this week to resume the CD leg of the proposed harmonic AB=CD pattern but not before covering the gap at 18.20-18.25 zones. Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying silver from 18.25 targeting 18.90 and stop loss below 17.70 might be appropriate.
Gold
Carried above SMA 50-currently valued at 1125.00-, gold inclined forming a bullish candlestick structure as seen on the provided daily chart. Stochastic turned higher, supporting the technical idea that the CD leg of the harmonic pattern is still in progress. Thus; possible bullishness could be seen during this week. A stable move above 1162.00 is needed to confirm the scenario. Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying gold with a breakout above 1162.00 targeting 1187.00 and stop loss below 1139.00 might be appropriate
The week past and expected
Even though there was sell off in the market on last Monday the market remained in a recovery mode through out the
week. However, such recoveries are nothing but pull back to the bear rally between 5400 and 5160 levels. The medium
term trend of the market is "down to negative" and may reverse only if the market dismisses the previous highest level
5400/18050.
As per weekly pattern last week's highest and lowest levels may act as a prudent support and resistance for the market
(5335/17780 and 5160/17270). For traders these levels are important to note as on the sustenance of the market above
and below these levels may move the market sharply towards the same direction. On the higher side we may expect 5400/
5440 (18150) above 5335 and on the lower side the chances of hitting 5000/16850 may increase below the level 5160/
17270
For the day 5265/17530 may act as a major support any sustenance below the same may push the indices to multi support
area 5200/5180 (17390/17330). On the higher side 5310/5335 levels may act as a hurdle area to cross these levels the
market requires genuine strength index based stocks.
In the last week there was "out performance from banking side" and "under performance from metal side". In the current
week also we may expect the same and buying on declines is advisable in bank stocks where as selling is advisable on
rally in metal stocks. The auto and tech index may improve from lower levels. The capital good and infra stocks are still
into bullish consolidation zone and buying at proper support levels will yield better returns for investors in the medium

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
GOLD (Futures): The commodity weakened and closed lower the past following its price failure at the 1,169.70 level, its 2010 high. However, our broader bias on Gold remains higher while it holds above its long-term rising trendline at 1,100.81. We see that level capping declines if a follow through lower on its Friday losses occurs as we enter a new week. This should bring a break above the 1,144.88 level, its Mar 01’10 high and the 1,169.70 level, its 2010 high picture back on the table. On a loss of the latter, further upside risk will shape up towards its psychological level at 1,200 and next its 2009 high at 1,226. The threat to this view will be a decisive break and close below the 1,100.81 level, its LT rising trendline. If that occurs, the commodity will trigger a return to its Mar low at 1,085.03 and next its 2010 low at 1.044.20. Overall, while Gold holds above the 1,100.81 level, we expect it
Gold closed lower due to profit taking on Friday and below the 10-day moving average crossing signalling that a short-term top has likely been posted. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought and are turning bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. If it extends this year's rally, the 75% retracement level of the December-February decline crossing is the next upside target.
Silver closed sharply lower on Friday testing support marked by the 20-day moving average crossing. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought and are turning bearish signalling that a short-term top might be in or is near. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. If it extends this rally, the 87% retracement level of the December-February decline crossing is the next upside target.
Crude Oil closed lower on Friday and below the 20-day moving average crossing. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are neutral to bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If it extends today's decline, the 38% retracement level of the February-April rally crossing is the next downside target. Closes above Wednesday's high crossing would temper the near-term bearish outlook.
Sideways trading is still settled above 161.8% correction for the BC leg; and mostly we also witness stability above 61.8% correction shown above. Accordingly, we withhold our previous expectations for a possible intraday upside move today. Stochastic provided a negative crossover which might increase the volatility and trigger downside corrections, yet at the same time trading above 18.15 -50 MA- will keep the upside wave valid.
The trading range for today is among the key support at 17.85 and key resistance now at 18.90. Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying silver from 18.35 targeting 18.90 and stop loss below 17.90 might be appropriate
Gold
Gold was trading yesterday within a tight range, biased in sometimes to the downside, as Stochastic needed to exit overbought areas. RSI is stable above 50 while the suggested MA count shows that the bullish fifth is needed to complete the bullish IM. Therefore, we see that an upside wave might affect intraday trading today. Some negativity on Stochastic might force fluctuations from now and indulge in downside corrections. Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying gold from 1155.00 targeting 1180.00 and stop loss below 1132.00 might be appropriate
Crude succeeded in achieving yesterday's suggested scenario flawlessly and stabilize around the awaited target 86.20. The horizontal resistance 86.35 is forming a sensitive resistance in front of crude, while inching closer to becoming the neckline for the technical pattern that is amidst forming. The negative momentum could force crude to bearish correct, but in overall we expect a bullish overall trend today that depend on two major factors; the first being a clear breach of 86.35 and the second building a base above 84.85. The awaited technical targets are presently around 87.05 then 88.70. Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is buying oil from 85.45 targeting 87.05 and stop loss below 84.85, might be appropriate.
Crude was able to reach resistance for the ascending short term direction that started its bearish reversal, and has stabilized within the minor descending channel's lane shown above. The bearish technical signs appearing on the four hour chart encourages us to expect a bearish overall direction for this week; starting with the breach of 84.35 to target $82.00 per barrel. Keep in mind that the breach of 86.05 will make the suggested scenario fail and push upwards below the need to bearishly correct. Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is selling oil with the breach of 84.35 targeting 82.00 and stop loss above 86.05, might be appropriate.
Silver
Between 18.90 and 19.30 areas, the suggested harmonic pattern of AB=CD might be completed but we believe that, areas of 18.35 could be retested first, and then achieving this suggested bullishness to resume the CD leg rally. AROON shows that, the uptrend is still strong enough, while RSI 14 is moving inside overbought zones. From here we will be waiting for a mild correction before moving upwards. Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying silver from 18.30 targeting 18.90 and stop loss below 17.85 might be appropriate
Gold
After breaching the key resistance levels of 1155.00-1156.00 zones, gold has taken 1162.00 with the weekly closing. Therefore, we still think that the duplicated harmonic formation might take the CD leg towards 1183.00 zones. Note that, potential fluctuation and retesting actions for the broken resistance might occur to relieve the momentum indicators before resuming the awaited bullishness during this week towards 1183.00"76.4% Fibonacci for the wave from the all-time high at 1125.00 to 1044.00". The problem is; we have to watch out the price actions around 1183.00 carefully as it might act as strong reversal areas. Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying gold from 1155.00 targeting 1183.00 and stop loss below 1132.00 might be appropriate.
On Thursday, the market has retraced to all the levels that we discussed in our update except 5270 and we may expect that level to come, if indices fails to surpass or reach 5335/17830 levels. However, as the trend is strong, we may expect quick reversal from lower levels. It seems that the sideline traders/investors may jump into the market near the previous support 5230/17480 of the market. For the day, we may expect further weakness, if indices trades below previous lows 5290/17675. It has next major support in the region 5270/60 (17600). For positional traders, it will be an opportunity to enter into positional longs with an anticipation of four to five percent gains from 5270/60 levels. On the higher side, 5320 and 5335 may act as a major hurdle for the day. In case the market breaks 5230/17470 on a closing basis, then it may invite worries, on the other side closing of the market above 5350/17900 level will be positive for the market.
Reconsidering our suggested Elliott sequence over short term basis, we think that the fifth wave hadn't been placed yet while the forth wave might have taken the "Running flat" shape. Therefore potential bullishness could be seen today, particularly if the metal succeeded in breaching 18.05 zones. Note that, momentum indicators might cause some kind of fluctuation.
Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying silver from 17.90 targeting 18.50 and stop loss below 17.40 might be appropriate
Gold
Yesterday's expected bearishness has been stopped at the pivotal support levels of 1122.00 but actually gold's bullish trend is strong enough to take it towards 161.8% expansion level at 1149.00 and it might extend further towards 1157.00 levels, which represent the extreme technical target for the CD leg of our harmonic AB=CD pattern. Thus; potential bullishness could be seen over intraday basis without ignoring the overbought signs appearing on momentum indicators.
Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying gold from 1134.00 targeting 1155.00 and stop loss below 1117.00 might be appropriate.
Crude's trading has been wedged since last Monday within the sideway range between support 86.25 and resistance 87.05, while noting momentum indicators entering overbought areas that may cause more sideway fluctuations. We expect more bullish movement today that will start with the breach of resistance for the current range, which will pave the way towards $88.00 then 89.50 per barrel. Keep in mind that the breach of 86.25 will weaken chances of achieving this awaited ascend. Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is buying oil with the breach of 87.05 targeting 88.00 and stop loss below 86.25, might be appropriate.
Gold closed sharply higher due to short covering on Monday as it consolidates some of last week's decline but remains below the 20-day moving average crossing. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If it extends last week's decline, the reaction low crossing is the next downside target. Closes above last Wednesday's high crossing would temper the near-term bearish outlook in the market.
Silver closed higher due to short covering on Monday but remains below the 10-day moving average crossing. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are neutral to bearish signalling that a short-term top might be in or is near. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. If it renews the rally off February's low, the 75% retracement level of the aforementioned decline crossing is the next upside target.
Crude Oil closed higher on Monday and above the 20-day moving average crossing confirming that a short-term top has been posted. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If it extends today's decline, the reaction low crossing is the next downside target. Closes above the 10-day moving average crossing would confirm that a short-term low has been posted.
The market opened higher but in the second half, it came into short covering mode and that has pulled the market
towards 5380 levels. As per the daily chart, the market is heading towards the upper boundary of the rising channel
which is close to 5380/5440. We may expect the rally to pause between or around these levels. One should be purely
of the view to trade with tight stop-losses as the upside seems to be limited. But at the same time, avoid contra calls
to short in advance. As the divergence is missing on daily and weekly chart, we can only say buy on declines especially
non-index heavy weights second liners with a trading view.
For the day the 5330 may act as a major support for the market and 5380/90 may act as an immediate hurdle.
