Price Signal Summary – Pullback in Gold Looks Corrective

• S&P e-minis traded higher last week and the contract maintains a firm short-term tone. The latest recovery still appears to be a correction, however, price has cleared the 20- and 50-day EMAs.

The broader trend condition is bearish.
• Despite this week’s move lower, a short-term bull cycle in GBPUSD remains in play. Recently, resistance at 1.2289 and 1.2337, the Oct 24 and Oct 11 highs, have been breached. This strengthens the bullish case and signals scope for gains near-term. USDJPY bulls remain in the driver’s seat. Key short-term support lies at the 50-day EMA - at 148.64.

The breach highlights a stronger short-term reversal and a continuation lower. The recent uptrend in Gold remains intact and the latest pullback appears to be a correction - for now.

The trend is up and moving average studies are in a bull-mode position. The bull trigger is 1.3899, Nov 1 high.
