Copper Futures Daily:Confluence support held near 1.930…with divergence into the low (RSI divergence lower pane of the chart); first target to 2.532…

Natural Gas Futures Daily: Still well below its long-term trend line resistance, but coming into a key extension target at 1.587, i.e. wave A = wave C...again seeing divergence into the low…

Oil Futures: Not sure how to label the longer term view yet; but interesting things going on here technically. 1) For the first time since 7/22/14 do we have a break of the downtrend resistance line (dotted red); and the 72-day moving average breaking above said line: 2) Wave A almost exactly equal to the last Wave down labeled C, which targeted a low of 26.17 (actual low was 26.05); 3) equivalence in time on wave A & C, being 77 days and 85 days, respectively; and 4) divergence into the low as seen in the RSI (lower pane of the chart)…heading into first major resistance at Wave A low 38.18…and swing high at 37.79…a rest here then rally toward 50$

Now the ratio seems to be hitting some resistance at a key retracement level–76.8%. It would be some confirmation of the charts above…stay tuned…
