Gold markets have been very noisy during the day on Tuesday, as we have a lot of geopolitical headwinds out there that are pushing markets in both directions. Beyond that, we have a significant jump in interest rates in America recently, which has been good for the greenback. With that being the case, Gold continues to be very noisy.

Gold markets initially try to rally during the day on Tuesday but found enough resistance to the $1305 level to turn around and fall significantly below the $1300 level. I think there is plenty of support underneath though, especially at the uptrend line as you can see on the chart. I think that we will probably continue to see a lot of support underneath, and I think it’s only a matter of time before the buyers get involved and push this market to the upside. If we do break down below that uptrend line, that’s a very negative sign and could break this market apart. That being said, I think that the market will eventually find some type of clarity and continue to move.

I believe that the uptrend line is going to be very crucial, and I think that is an area that could be very important, and if we break down below there I think that the market will probably go looking towards $1275 level. That’s an area that is significant support, based upon previous action. On the other hand, if we rally above the $1308 level, the market should continue to go higher and continue to climb a bit from there, perhaps towards the $1325 level. There is a lot of noise in general, so keep that in mind and keep your position size small. Overall, I do think that eventually the buyers come in and take control.
