Last: 29,575

Review:
U.S. stocks were mixed after the close on Monday, as gains in the Technology, Healthcare and Consumer Services sectors led shares higher while losses in the Oil & Gas, Utilities and Financials sectors directed them downwards.

The Dow Jones RSI advocates for further decline.

Pivot: 1,764
Review:
Gold ended November down almost 6%, booking its worst month in four years, as relentless news of progress in Covid-19 vaccines and the diminishing need to hedge against an economic collapse continued to divert money from safe-havens into risk markets and cryptocurrencies.
Technical comment:
A support base at 1764.00 has formed and has allowed for a temporary stabilisation.

Long positions above 1764.00 with targets at 1793.00 & 1800.00 in extension.
Alternative scenario:
Below 1764.00, look for further downside with 1757.00 & 1747.00 as targets.

| Support | 1,764 | 1,757 | 1,747 |

Oil prices jumped 27% or more for November, their biggest leap since the disaster of spring 2020, when crude prices tumbled into negative territory for the first time in history.
Technical comment:
As long as 45.80 is resistance, look for choppy price action with a bearish bias.
Preference scenario:
Short positions below 45.80 with targets at 44.65 & 44.40 in extension.
Alternative scenario:
Above 45.80, look for further upside with 46.25 & 46.55 as targets.
