Gold Builds Early Bullish Momentum!Gold has been resting well, and the rest may have given new life to the
bullish momentum as we are starting to see some progress this month.
An all-time high formed in August 2020 at $2075, and from there,
we saw a decline down through the $2000 psychological area of
support/resistance and below the 50 simple moving average.
Price formed an area of consolidation and formed a base just below
$1700 in March 2021. Price hit this level again in August 2021,
and this bounce from support has given price some much-needed momentum.
We have the $2000 round number above price, which may act as
resistance. If price makes it above this hurdle, then we have the
all-time high resistance at $2075, which may also act as an obstacle.
As price has formed a base in the consolidation zone, a breakout
of the the high or low will give us an indication of where price may go next.
The prior trend was bullish, so we are anticipating a bullish breakout.

As always, keep it simple, keep it Sublime.

Crude Oil Heading Towards $100Crude Oil has come a long way since the lows of April 2020, which took price down
to just 1 cent. Price has since climbed back over 16,000% and currently looking strong.
The first hurdle following the decline was in November 2020 when price approached
the 50 simple moving average resistance level on the weekly timeframe.
After defeating this indicator, price went on to challenge the 200 simple moving
average, which at first held its ground, but price eventually broke through.
Price went on to break above a previous level of resistance at $66 on its second
attempt and did the same for the resistance at $76.
Now that price has broken through multiple levels of resistance, the next major
resistance that stands in the way is the $100 round number.
This psychological level of resistance may prove difficult for price to break,
so we need to keep an eye out if and when price approaches this level.
For now, we can expect to see further moves to the upside and maybe even
a retest of the support level at $76.

When Might The Price Of Natural Gas Decompress?Traders that have taken a long position on Natural Gas will have been feeling lighter than air for the better part of 2021. Remarkably, the trading price of Natural Gas has rocketed up 115% since the beginning of the year, outperforming price increases in other commodities currently sitting close to record highs, Oats (up by 63.83% YTD), Copper (up by 19.65% YTD), and steel (up by 38.27% YTD). As of writing, Natural Gas is trading at $5.592 per million British thermal units, a thirteen year high for the commodity.
What Is The Reason For The Meteoric Rise In Natural Gas
An unusually scorching 2021 summer in the US drove demand for air conditioning and Natural Gas beyond normal levels, resulting in a lower stockpile of the commodity for an unusually cold winter. Following this, extreme weather conditions, such as Hurricane Ida, interrupted Natural Gas extraction in the Gulf of Mexico’s most productive zone.
Will The Price Of Natural Gas Recede?
Typically, when the price of a commodity rises, new investment will enter the market to scoop up the high prices. Regarding Natural Gas, the new investment could be from gas companies lifting output at existing gas wells or exploring new wells that will raise production. Counter-productively, the new investment and resulting lift in gas supply would help suppress the price rises in the commodity.
New investment in Natural Gas has stalled as of late. While fossil fuels will still be needed for a long time, so-called ‘Zero Carbon’ policies from governing bodies worldwide are disincentivising Natural Gas exploration. The long-term prospects of Natural Gas wells are less certain and less attractive when contending with the likes of the Biden Administration throwing its full support behind renewable energy sources as the US engages in a wide-scale upgrade to its infrastructure. One project for the Biden Administration is for the US electric grid to be powered by 50% solar within the next thirty years. Achieving this goal would severely squeeze demand for Natural Gas, which, according to the EPA, generated approximately 40% of the country’s electricity in 2020.
Gold Potential Breakout Continuation Above 1,7571. Price crossed above the 1,757 level last week and stabilized. We did see a price drift back below this level and selling momentum did not pick up.
2. This leads to this week's outlook. If price can hold above the 1,757 level, we can expect further upside as price continues with the momentum from last week. I don't anticipate a sharp cross below this level, unless some fundamental news comes out. A slightly more likely scenario is if this price action fizzles if the level isn't respected for this week's open.
