Weekly forecast for oil, gold and EUR/USDAlex Rodionov
The oil price tested the broken-out Target Zone 5 [41.67 – 40.92] from above this week. Next, there was a good reaction of buyers to the support test. As a result, the price went up and is now trading close to local highs.
For next week, I recommend holding the purchases entered in TZ5 at the breakeven with a target in Target Zone 6 [49.17 – 48.42].
Alternative scenario: the price correction down to the trend key support [37.23 – 36.61]. In this case, we shall also enter long trades; the target will be at the high of August.

analysis ****
The gold price has broken out Target Zone [1957.9 – 1949.2] this week. According to the methodology, the middle-term trend has again turned up. However, considering technical analysis, I can’t recommend buying gold.
It is clear from the chart that sellers started a strong down momentum last week. All the price rise looks like a correction.
Therefore, I recommend expecting the breakout of Target Zone [1922.4 – 1913.1]. If so, we can enter sell trades with a target in Target Zone 2 [1829.4 - 1820.1].
One could buy gold only provided that there is a buy pattern.

Sell according to the pattern in Target Zone [1957.9 - 1949.2]. TakeProfit: 1864.0, Target Zone 2 [1829.4 - 1820.1]. StopLoss: according to the pattern rules
analysis ****
The EUR/USD has been working out the main upward scenario from Target Zone [1.1733 - 1.1715]. The local high was broken through. Traders tried to consolidate the price above Target Zone 4 [1.1914 – 1.1896], but hey have failed. Only one US session closed the price above, but we need two US session to confirm the breakout according to the methodology.
The price is now being corrected. This week, traders tried to draw the price down to the trend key support [1.1783 - 1.1765].
The test of the key support will allow us to enter new euro purchases according to the pattern with that the target at the high of August.
