Natural Gas (Daily Chart)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Open interest in natural gas futures markets shrank for the third consecutive session on Friday, this time by around 2.3K contracts, according to advanced prints from CME Group. Volume reversed two daily builds in a row and went down by around 145.5K contracts.<\/p>\n\n

Friday\u2019s decent gains in prices of natural gas was supported by short covering, as noted by declining open interest and volume. Against this, further gains appear not favoured in the very near term, with the RSI dropped below the average line. The door still open to a visit to the $3.550 region per MMBtu, or December lows.<\/p>\n\n

Resistance: 4.100, 4.800, 5.500<\/p>\n\n

Support: 3.800, 3.550<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>EURUSD (Daily Chart)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>EUR\/USD held up well on Monday despite the market\u2019s deeply risk-off tone, with the pair finding good dip-buying interest when it hit the 1.1300 level earlier in the session and recovering to trade flat on the day in the 1.1320s. As has been the case for the past four sessions, the price action continues, for the most part, to stick between the 20 and 50-day moving averages at 1.1350 and 1.1315 respectively.<\/p>\n\n

As to technical, the shared currency\u2019s price action remains around the 23.6% to 38.2% Fibonacci consolidation range. The RSI indicator reads 47.64, showing slightly bearish tone. As mentioned last Friday, if the pair manages to rise back above 38.2% Fibonacci, then the outlook would improve. On the downside, a solid break under 23.6% Fibonacci should clear the way to more losses and to a test of the bottom of the retracement lines.<\/p>\n\n

Resistance: 1.1380, 1.1440,1.1500<\/p>\n\n

Support: 1.1300, 1.1200<\/p>\n\n

XAUUSD (Daily Chart)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Gold is headed for a positive close on Monday following a heavily risk-off session and a run for safer havens. At the time of writing, gold is up 0.3% after climbing from a low of $1,829.76 and settling around the $1,840 price levels, so far with eyes on the psychological $1,850 level.<\/p>\n\n

From the technical perspective, Gold has achieved to stay above the critical $1,830 price level in the last three trading days. XAU\/USD is neutral-upward biased, as portrayed by the major DMAs below the spot price, but its horizontal slope leaves the yellow metal under downward pressure. To the upside, gold\u2019s first resistance would be the robust $1,860, and for cases that breaches the long-lasting downtrend, the pair could reach its last summer\u2019s highs at around $1,900; On the flip side, gold\u2019s first support is at $1,830. A breach of the latter would expose the next support at $1,800, followed by the November lows around $1,765.<\/p>\n\n

Resistance: 1860, 1900<\/p>\n\n

Support: 1830, 1800, 1765<\/p>\n\n
