Gold's Resilience: Surges to Three-Week High Amidst Dollar Uptick

In a surprising turn of events, the price of gold has surged to a near three-week high, reaching around the $2,060 region this Friday. However, the precious metal seems to be facing challenges in fully capitalizing on this upward momentum, thanks to a modest uptick in the US Dollar. The dynamics between gold and the greenback are playing a crucial role in shaping the current market landscape.

US Dollar Rebound:

The US Dollar Index (DXY), a measure of the dollar's strength against a basket of major currencies, has reversed a portion of its recent decline. This shift comes in the wake of a downward revision of the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) print, which had initially prompted a slide in the greenback. The third and final reading from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed that the world's largest economy expanded by a 4.9% annualized pace, slightly below the 5.2% rise in the second estimate. This development has injected a sense of uncertainty into the markets, influencing the delicate balance between the dollar and gold.

Technical Analysis Insights:

Building on our previous analysis, gold continues to exhibit strength as it adheres to our technical projections. The support from the 50-day moving average has been a key factor in bolstering the precious metal's performance. In a swing mode, the price of gold is striving to establish a new higher high, signaling a positive trend that traders and investors are closely monitoring.

Outlook and Targets:

Our technical analysis suggests that gold's current trajectory is poised for further growth. With the goal of establishing a new high, our target has been revised to $2,100, and an extension to $2,135. The evolving market conditions and the resilience displayed by gold amid the recent fluctuations indicate a potential bullish sentiment that traders may leverage in the coming days.

The recent surge in gold prices, despite the US Dollar's attempts at a rebound, underscores the precious metal's resilience and the intricate relationship between these two influential assets. As investors navigate through the uncertainties surrounding economic data and global events, gold stands out as a reliable option, with technical indicators pointing towards a continued upward trajectory. Whether gold can surpass the $2,100 mark and reach the extended target of $2,135 remains to be seen, but the current market dynamics suggest that the precious metal is not ready to relinquish its shine just yet.


Our preference

Long positions above 2011.350 with targets at 2100.00 & 2135.00 in extension.
