Gold markets rallied slightly during the trading session on Tuesday, hanging around a trend line that we have been following for quite some time.
Gold markets have gone back and forth during the trading session on Tuesday, showing signs of strength in a very small range. Ultimately, the market is trying to find its footing and perhaps continue to hang into the uptrend line. Keep in mind that the 200-Day EMA is sitting just below the trendline, so I do think that there is a lot of support just waiting to come into the picture. If we can take out the $1950 level, it’s very likely that gold will continue to go much higher in the futures market and, of course, the CFD market. The market is currently between the 200-Day EMA and the 50-Day EMA indicators, which typically means that we are going to see a bit of volatility. We are at a major point of inflection right now, so it makes sense that we pause and try to sort things out.
I do believe at this point, it’s likely that we will continue to see a lot of noisy behavior, but it is possible that we have found a situation where the market has decided to start trying to build a base to go higher. As long as we stay above the 200-Day EMA, I do think that you have to look at this through the possibility of picking up “cheap gold” in the short term. If we can break above the $2000 level, it’s very likely that we can see an attempt to get back to the highs again. Furthermore, we are hanging about the 61.8% Fibonacci level, an area that a lot of traders like to trade in.
If we were to break down below the 200-Day EMA, then we could drop all the way down to the $1800 level, but I don’t think it’s likely to be the case. In general, I think gold will continue to see a lot of interest, especially as we worry about wealth preservation. That being said, I do think that it’s only a matter of time before we see some type of rally, but I’m also willing to pull the ripcord if we start to fall too quickly.
