Crude oil closed lower due to profit taking on Monday as it consolidated some of last Friday's rally. The low range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are turning neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term. If August renews the rally off May's low, the 62% retracement level of last month's decline crossing at 81.13 is the next upside target. Closes below last week's low crossing at 75.17 would confirm that a short term top has been posted. First resistance is today's high crossing at 79.38. Second resistance is last Monday's high crossing at 79.94. First support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 76.30. Second support is last Wednesday's low crossing at 75.17.

Gold posted a key reversal down due to profit taking on Monday and the low range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Tuesday. August gold pulled back from a fresh record high today after the rally lost momentum and a stronger dollar pressured the market. Stochastics and the RSI are diverging and are turning neutral hinting that a short term top might be in or is near. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 1235.00 are needed to confirm that a short term top has been posted. If August renews this year's rally into uncharted territory, upside targets will now be hard to project. First resistance is last Monday's high crossing at 1266.50. First support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 1235.00. Second support is last Thursday's low crossing at 1225.20.
