The long-anticipated reversal on the price of crude oil may finally be on the horizon, given the latest developments on the price action of the commodity. However, right off the gate, it should be stated that the ongoing energy crisis continues to be the biggest determinant of the heightened demand for gas, which has a spillover effect over crude oil as well. That is why bears should be especially cautious [...]

The price of gold is currently probing the psychologically significant resistance level at 1800.00, which might prove to be an impregnable obstacle, at least for the time being. There is a confluence of mounting bearish indications, all pointing to a likely upcoming reversal from this threshold, which means bears can try to implement contrarian trading strategies. [...]

The price of crude oil has rallied considerably over the last several months as global energy demand increased materially. Part of the reason is the slightly more hawkish rhetoric implemented by some of the most prominent central banks, which alludes to the progress that has been achieved so far in overcoming the economic crunch from last year. There have also been other more recent contributing factors [...]

The price action of gold appears to be consolidating within the boundaries of a narrow range in the short term, even though bearish pressure continues to be increasing slowly but steadily. This could create a favourable setup for implementing trend continuation strategies by bears looking to sell the peak; however, such a scenario would be subject to several key developments. The most significant [...]

Despite the solid global recovery, demand for crude oil is likely to wane by the end of the year. In turn, this transformative change in the commodity's underlying supply and demand dynamic is likely to drive its price below $50 per barrel over the same period. Part of the reason for the current rally is owing to the persisting conformity of OPEC members under the organisation's Declaration of Cooperation [...]

The price action of gold is currently drawing near the lower limit of the massive consolidation range that was outlined in our previous analysis of the commodity. Given the underlying range-trading environment, bulls can try to take advantage of this by going long on the expectations for another rebound. Bearish pressure was bolstered over the last few days as headline inflation in the U.S. and Europe is [...]

At its recent meeting, OPEC tried to sound optimistic about the near future of the energy market. However, the minutes from the 20th Ministerial Meeting of OPEC left many uncertainties. OPEC expects to see persistently high demand by the end of the year, which does not reflect the latest economic developments globally. Labour market conditions in the U.S. have worsened last month and the spread of the [...]

The price action of gold managed to penetrate above the psychologically significant resistance level at 1800.00 towards the end of last week's trading session. It remains to be seen whether the price action would manage to remain above this crucial threshold or a potential reversal would signal the beginning of a new downtrend. The reason for the bullish spike above this make-it-or-break-it point were FED [...]

The price of crude oil rebounded abruptly from the historically significant support level at 61.90 yesterday, which indicated the beginning of a new pullback. However, as it is about to be seen below, the price action also demonstrates signs of mounting bearish commitment in the short term, which bears could use to their advantage. The snap rebound was prompted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar from the [...]

The price of gold has managed to recover most of the massive losses that were incurred at the beginning of the week, prompted by the expectations for FED tapering sooner than initially projected. Yet, this pullback is still a far cry from a healthy rally and more of a seesaw backswing. The selling opportunity on the commodity is still very much present, especially given the renewed strengthening of the [...]
