Today Technical Analysis: Oil spikes 4% in early trading. WTI back above $90 a barrel

Gold Technical Analysis

Gold remains in a firmly bearish short-term trend after suffering a sharp decline from the $4,515 high. The market has experienced an accelerated selloff over the past several sessions, resulting in a series of lower highs and lower lows. Price is currently trading below all major moving averages, while the 5-period, 10-period, and 20-period moving averages are aligned negatively, confirming continued downside momentum.

The breakdown below the $4,390 support region marked an important technical development and triggered a new wave of selling pressure. Since then, buyers have struggled to establish any meaningful recovery, with every rally being met by renewed selling

The area around $4,318–$4,330 now represents immediate resistance, followed by $4,347 and the more significant resistance zone near $4,390. On the downside, support is located at the recent low of $4,268. A break below this level could trigger another leg lower toward $4,220 and potentially $4,180. Unless gold can reclaim the 20-period moving average and break above key resistance levels, the short-term outlook remains decisively bearish.

Support$4,268$4,248$4,160

Brent Technical Analysis

Brent crude oil has staged a powerful bullish reversal after finding support near $94.57. The market had been in a clear downtrend for several sessions. However, the sharp recovery from the recent low has significantly improved the short-term technical picture. Price has now climbed back above the 5-period, 10-period, and 20-period moving averages, with the shorter-term averages crossing above the longer-term average, indicating a shift in momentum toward the bulls.

Volume expanded noticeably during the rebound, supporting the strength of the move. If Brent manages to break above $100.50, the bullish recovery could extend toward $102.00 and potentially higher levels. On the downside, initial support is located near $98.50, followed by $97.60 and then the major support zone around $96.60. Overall, the short-term outlook has shifted from bearish to bullish, although traders should monitor the psychological $100 barrier closely.

Nasdaq 100 Technical Analysis

The NASDAQ 100 remains under significant bearish pressure despite the latest rebound attempt from the 28,770 low. The index is now trading below the 5-period, 10-period, and 20-period moving averages, while the moving averages themselves remain bearishly aligned, confirming that sellers remain firmly in control of the broader short-term trend.

Immediate resistance is located near 29,160, followed by 29,370 where the 20-period moving average is currently positioned. A break above those levels would be required to improve the technical outlook. On the downside, support remains at 28,770, and a break below that level could expose 28,500 and potentially lower levels. For now, the short-term bias remains bearish while price trades below the moving average cluster.
