MCX Crude oil: Crude oil spot prices are trading lower today, with Brent Futures trading around $83.8 per barrel, down 2.3%, while WTI Crude traded 2.5% lower, around $80.8. Oil prices fell sharply after the United States and Iran paused military strikes against each other.

MCX Gold has failed to sustain above its short-term trendline and is now trading near ₹1,42,100. The price has slipped below the 20-period and 50-period EMAs, which weakens the recent recovery attempt. The immediate support is placed near ₹1,41,742. Below this, ₹1,39,801 becomes the next major support. On the upside, ₹1,44,230 is the key resistance. The DMI setup also favours sellers, while ADX near 24 suggests that bearish momentum is building.

Silver has also weakened and is trading near ₹2,17,450. The price has broken below its rising trendline support and is now below both the 20-period and 50-period EMAs. The immediate support zone is placed around ₹2,15,249–₹2,13,851. If silver fails to hold this zone, the weakness may extend further. On the upside, ₹2,27,690 remains the key resistance. The DMI setup has turned bearish, with ADX near 28.5 shows that the downside move has reasonable strength.

MCX Crude oil has seen a sharp fall from higher levels and is now trading near ₹7,792.
