Gold (XAUUSD)

VT Markets MT4 chart

Gold experienced high volatility last week, starting higher due to the dovish US Fed decision but declining following positive US Jobs data. The week ended with gold dropping to 1865.

On the Weekly Timeframe, we can see that the Stochastic Indicator is starting to cross lower and trying to exit the overbought level. Gold price is moving above the 20, 50 and 200-period moving averages.

Our Weekly resistance levels are at $1,896 and $1,929 with the support levels at $1,859 and $1,807.

On the Daily Timeframe, the Stochastic Indicator is moving lower in the middle. Price is moving below the 20-period moving average but still above the 50 and 200-period moving averages. 

Our Daily resistance levels are at $1,901 and $1,943, with the support levels at $1,866 and $1,824.

Conclusion: We only have a few economic events this week, but we may experience the impact of last week’s Fed decision and US Jobs data, which will create some volatility in the market. We expect that gold may start the week lower, reaching our support levels at $1,859 and $1,866, before rebounding higher and reaching our resistance levels at $1,896 and $1,901.
