GOLD TECHS: Monitoring Resistance At The 20-Day EMA

GOLD TECHS
Metals Technical AnalysisCommodities TechBulletMarketsForeign Exchange BulletsCommodities
  • RES 4: $2790.1 - High Oct 31 and the bull trigger  
  • RES 3: $2750.0 - High Nov 5
  • RES 2: $2730.4 - 76.4% retracement of the Oct 31 - Nov 14 bear leg     
  • RES 1: $2640.0/2726.2 - 20-day EMA / High Dec 12     
  • PRICE: $2619.3 @ 06:59 GMT Dec 24

  • SUP 2: $2564.4 - Low Nov 18
  • SUP 3: $2536.9 - Low Nov 14 and a key support 
  • SUP 4: $2511.1 - Low Sep 12  

Gold traded sharply lower on Dec 18. The move down undermines a recent bullish theme. A resumption of weakness would signal scope for an extension towards the key support at $2536.9, the Nov 14 low. Moving average studies are in a bull mode position highlighting a medium-term uptrend and this suggests that the latest sell-off is likely a correction. Initial pivot resistance is $2640.0, the 20-day EMA. A breach of this EMA would be positive for bulls.
