We’ve been tracking this slope in gold since the start of the month and the immediate focus is on a breakout of Friday’s outside-day reversal candle for guidance. While the broader outlook is still constructive, the threat for a larger uptrend correction remains while within this formation. US Core PCE on tap into the weekly / monthly close.

The crude oil breakout turned from resistance last week at 81.52/83 – a region defined by the May open and 61.8% retracement of the April decline. The focus into the start of the week is on possible inflection off this zone with a topside breach / close above the upper parallel needed to fuel the next leg higher in price towards the 61.8% retracement of the September decline / 2024 high-day close (HDC) at 84.57-85.33.

Initial support rests with the January high / 200-day moving average at 72.26/39 and is backed by the objective monthly open at 77.25 and the 61.8% retracement at 76.08- losses should be limited to this threshold IF price is heading higher on this stretch (bullish invalidation).

Bitcoin Price Chart – BTC/USD Weekly

Bitcoin is poised for a third weekly decline here with BTC/USD now approaching initial support at the 23.6% retracement / June open at 60,032/611. Note the highlighted slope confluence just lower near 57,700 – looking for possible downside exhaustion off on of these levels in the coming weeks IF price is still heading higher on this stretch.

A question came up in the webinar on whether this constitutes a double-top formation. We discussed it at length and IF the September uptrend is broken, the measured move would threaten a sell-off towards 41,051. For now, the focus is on possible downside exhaustion into upcoming support- watch the weekly close here. Monthly-open resistance eyed near 67,500 with a breach / close above the 2021 high / record high-close at 71,285 needed to mark uptrend resumption towards 81,310.
