GOLD TECHS: Still Looking For Weakness

  • RES 4: $2750.0 - High Nov 5 
  • RES 3: $2730.4 - 76.4% retracement of the Oct 31 - Nov 14 bear leg
  • RES 2: $2664.5 - High Dec 16

  • 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. That 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 $2638.6, the 50-day EMA. A breach of this EMA would be positive for bulls.
