Here is a critical update on gold, copper and oil futures.

UPDATE: Copper, Gold, Oil
July 23 (King World News) – Naveen Nair at Citi:  Commodities charts remain interesting. Copper futures have dipped for 6 days in a row and look likely to continue in the near term. Brent is testing support at the 200w MA, which has held relatively well. Gold failed to close above a double bottom neckline on a weekly basis, but medium term techs continue to suggest a bullish picture. We detail more: 

Copper futures (HG1)
Copper futures have slid for 6 days I n a row after testing the 55d MA earlier in July. With the 55-200d MA setup still in play, we expect prices to continue to dip in the near term towards the 200d MA at 408.26.

That said, we expect very strong support at 401.53-408.26 (55w MA, 200w MA, 200d MA). We also keep a close eye on weekly slow stochastics after it entered oversold territory. In the last three occasions we have seen a cross higher from oversold territory, it has suggested near term bounce in prices.

(Crude Oil) Brent futures (CO1)
Nearby brent futures have broken below support at 82.21-83.61 (200d MA, 55d MA). However, we have found support at the 200w MA at 81.46. This level is reasonably strong, having held well since 2023, with the only exception being a short break below in early June. 

Keep a watch on weekly slow stochastics as well, which looks likely to cross lower. IF we close below the 200w MA, next support is at 76.62-76.76 (Feb and June 2024 lows).

Gold
Last week, we wrote about why the techs picture for gold was bullish. Despite that, we did not see a weekly close above $2450 (May high and double bottom neckline). This puts a damper on short term bullishness, with support first at $2385.80 (55d MA)…

Nevertheless, we flag the medium term picture remains bullish, with the inverted head and shoulders still at play. We still expect strong resistance at $2500-2523 (psychological level and inverted head and shoulders indicated target).
