Gold market participants sold during the Friday session, reaching down towards the $1335 level. I think that there is plenty of support below though, so it’s only a matter of time before we turn around and rally again. I believe that the $1350 level above is of course massive resistance.

Gold daily chart, April 23, 2018

Gold markets get to be interesting over the next several weeks, because we have a lot of geopolitical concerns of their that could move them. We have the concerns about the United States and China perhaps going into some type of trade war, an escalation of the shooting war in Syria, and then of course whatever’s going on with North Korea at this point. I think that we could get a bit of a “run to safety” if we get some type of significant geopolitical issue. That should send gold higher. However, we also have the US dollar rallying at times, and that put downward pressure in gold. In other words, we will continue to see a lot of volatility. However, when you look at the longer-term charts, it looks as if we are ready to bang up against resistance above, and eventually go to the $1400 level.

The gold markets have plenty of support down to the $1300 level, so it’s not until we break down below there that I’m willing to start shorting this market. If we do have that happen, the market should continue to go much lower. However, the lower this market goes, the more likely I am to start buying as I think that the gold markets will be offering value in general. I think that the market should continue to see buyers every time we dip, and that I think eventually we will break out to the upside and shoot towards the $1800 level.
