The gold market has gone back and forth in the course of the week, with a slightly positive slant. At this point, it looks like we are going to continue to see buyers on dips.
You can see, the gold market has been somewhat positive during the course of the week as the $2300 level underneath continues to offer plenty of support. The $2400 level above is massive resistance and offers quite a bit of a barrier. If we can break above there, then the market could go much higher. At that point, then we could see the market go looking to the $2500 level given enough time which is the longer term target, I think, at this point. Short term pullbacks at this point will continue to look at the $2,300 level as a potential floor.
If we were to break down below, we could go down to the $2,150 level, which is an area where we would see the 50-week EMA come into the picture as well, and perhaps come into the previous resistance that should now be market memory that we would pay close attention to. I think ultimately this is a market that any significant pullback probably gets bought into. And quite frankly, with everything that’s going on around the world, it’s difficult to imagine a scenario where gold isn’t thought of as being attractive. So, with that, I remain bullish. It may be noisy in the short term, but I still think we will go higher.
Keep in mind that there is a lot of noise out there, but I find it almost impossible to think of gold as something that should be sold, as there is a large amount of fear and concern about debt at the moment. Of course, there is also war.
