Technical Analysis – Gold ranges between 50 and 100 SMAs; momentum feeble

Posted on October 19, 2020 at 8:14 am GMT

Gold seems to be adopting a sideways pattern after retreating under the Ichimoku cloud. The guiding and constricting 50- and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs), as well as the horizontal Ichimoku lines, further back the suspended picture of the commodity. The short-term oscillators suggest a frozen state of directional momentum. The MACD, in the negative region, is holding above its red signal line but slightly below its zero mark, while the RSI is zig zagging around its neutral threshold. A [..]

Technical Analysis – Gold recoups some losses, holding above 100-SMA

Posted on October 14, 2020 at 10:07 am GMT

Gold prices bounced off the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the down leg from 2,015 to 1,848 at 1,887, moving above the 100-period simple moving average (SMA). The technical indicators are endorsing the upside movement of the last couple of sessions. The RSI is standing near the neutral level of 50, while the stochastic is moving higher after the bullish cross within the %K and %D lines. An extension to the upside could take the precious metal until the 40-period [..]

Technical Analysis – Gold flirts with 23.6% Fibonacci; holds in bearish move

Posted on October 12, 2020 at 6:43 am GMT

Gold has found immediate resistance at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the up leg from 1,454 to 2,074.89 at 1,927 and the 40-day simple moving average (SMA). The downside correction over the last two months is now being confirmed by the weak momentum in the MACD oscillator and the downward slope in the RSI. However, if there is a significant step above the 23.6% Fibonacci, the door could open for the 1,972 barrier and the 2,015 hurdle. Moving higher, [..]

Technical Analysis – Gold recoups some losses; SMAs act as strong resistance

Posted on October 7, 2020 at 7:04 am GMT

Gold is recouping some of the losses it posted on Tuesday, hitting the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the down leg from 2,015 to 1,848 at 1,887. The technical indicators seem to be mixed, as the RSI is sloping upwards in the bearish area, while the MACD is still holding beneath its trigger and zero lines with weak momentum. If the positive bias continues above the 23.6% Fibo, the price could first meet the 40-period simple moving average (SMA) at 1,896.50, before the 20-period SMA at [..]

Technical Analysis – Gold short-term bias skewed to the downside; long-term uptrend intact

Posted on October 5, 2020 at 7:39 am GMT

Gold opened on the negative side on Monday, unable to remove the barrier around the 38.2% Fibonacci of the 1,670-2,079 upleg and stretch into the 1,900 zone. The 20-day simple moving average (SMA) also happens to be in the neighbourhood, adding extra importance to the region. In the short-term picture, the metal pierced the previous low from August 12, marginally though, before bouncing up, while the 20- and the 50-day SMAs have recently posted a bearish cross, creating speculation that the downward direction may be extended. [..]

Technical Analysis – Gold fades from restrictive line to 100-day SMA

Posted on September 28, 2020 at 8:24 am GMT

Gold has found some footing on the 100-day simple moving average (SMA), after deflecting off a preventive line drawn from the all-time high of 2,074 and dropping below the Ichimoku cloud. The paused bearish Ichimoku lines transmit weakness in negative momentum, while all SMAs maintain a bullish tone. That said, the MACD and the RSI reflect the stall in downwards price action, while the stochastics aim to improve. The MACD has eased in bearish territory, while the RSI floats above [..]

Technical Analysis – Gold’s bearish drive accelerates; downward risks grow

Posted on September 23, 2020 at 7:39 am GMT

Gold is gaining negative momentum beneath the simple moving averages (SMAs) and the Ichimoku cloud, as reflected in the declining Ichimoku lines. The commodities’ recent break out of the sideways market is also receiving backing from the evolving bearish tone in the SMAs. The short-term oscillators further convey the descent in the precious metal. The MACD, in the negative region, is weakening below its red trigger line, while the RSI has dipped into oversold territory. Additionally, the descending stochastic lines [..]
