SP 500 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices launched a swift recovery after testing rising trend line support set from late-March lows. From here, a break above trend line resistance at 2110.80 exposes the 50% Fibonacci expansion at 2119.10.

GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices narrowly edged above falling channel resistance, warning that the down move from mid-May highs may be unraveling. A break of trend line resistance at 1201.51 exposes the May 18 high at 1232.30. Alternatively, turn below channel resistance-turned-support at 1181.01 targets the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion at 1169.31.
CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices may be resuming the recovery launched from mid-January lows after completing a Flag continuation pattern. Near-term resistance is at 66.69, the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that exposing the 38.2% level at 70.25. Alternatively, a move below trend line support at 62.62 targets the 38.2% Fib retracement at 60.27.
