Review:
US stock futures fell during Sunday's evening deals, after major benchmark averages finished the week lower amid renewed rate hike fears from Fed policymakers ahead of the Jackson Hole Symposium later this week. Dow Jones Futures and S&P 500 Futures fell 0.3% while Nasdaq 100 Futures dipped 0.4%.
Technical comment:
The RSI is bullish and calls for further advance.
Preference scenario:
Traders looking to go long may find the opportunity to do so should the price break out above 12930.00. Should this happen, the next targets will be at 13700.00 and 14275.00 in extension.
Alternative scenario:
Conversely, a price breakout below 12930.00 will steer the price lower to12030.00 and 11040.00 as targets.

Technical comment:
The RSI shows upside momentum.
Preference scenario:
A buying opportunity will present itself if the price breaks out above 131.00, with targets at 137.50 and 139.40 in extension.
Alternative scenario:
A breakout below 131.00 would open the downside with 128.60 and 126.30 as targets.

Review:
Oil prices fell sharply on Monday on reports suggesting that Iran and Western countries were close to striking a deal that would lift sanctions on crude supply from the West Asian nation. U.S. crude oil sank over 1% to $89.39 a barrel.
Technical comment:
As long as 95.40 is resistance, a decline to 80.00 is likely.
Preference scenario:
A breakout below 95.40 would trigger some short-selling action, with targets at 80.00 and 75.00 in extension.
Alternative scenario:
Should the price break out above 95.40, look for further upside with 100.00 and 105.00 as targets.

Review:
Gold prices will likely sustain below $1,750.00 as investors await US Jackson Hole Symposium. Gold price (XAUUSD) has declined consecutively for five trading sessions after printing a monthly high of $1,807.96.
Technical comment:
The RSI is mixed with a bullish bias.
Preference scenario:
A breakout above 1735.00 will steer the price higher towards 1845.00 and 1880.00 in extension, leaving room for buying action.
Alternative scenario:
A breakout below 1735.00 will send the price tumbling towards 1680.00 and 1645.00 as targets.

Review:
The EURUSD pair has continued its two-day losing streak after dropping below Friday’s low at 1.0032 in its opening session. The asset is declining towards parity as investors expect hawkish guidance from the Federal Reserve (Fed) at US Jackson Hole Symposium this week.
Technical comment:
The RSI is mixed to bearish.
Preference scenario:
Traders looking to go short may take advanage of that opportunity should the price break out below 1.0370, with targets at 0.9950 and 0.9800 in extension.
Alternative scenario:
Should the price break out above 1.0370, look for further upside with 1.0600 and 1.0800 as targets.
