Gold Price Analysis – Gold Drops Again on Wednesday. Can it Bounce?

Gold Technical Analysis

The gold market has drifted a little bit lower during trading on Wednesday as we are now testing the $4,450 region. This is a market that I think continues to struggle mainly due to interest rates still being as high as they are, and it’s worth noting that interest rates are trying to recover a little bit as I record this, so that could put further downward pressure on precious metals.

The 200-day EMA sits at $4,373, and that could be where we are trying to get to. The $4,600 level above is a large round psychologically significant figure and a barrier from what I can see because there has been a lot of support and resistance in that region. Breaking above there opens up a move to the $4,800 level. This is an area that will be difficult to break above.

Technical Analysis and Market Outlook

Ultimately, this is a market that I think continues to be very noisy, very choppy, but I think it also will more likely than not continue to be one that is basically moving on the headlines. The headlines coming out of the Middle East aren’t exactly promising, although it could be read that both sides are looking for a face-saving agreement, but at the end of the day, this is a market that still sees a lot of downward pressure.

Selling gold continues to be the way a lot of traders are getting involved, but if we can get some kind of agreement in the Middle East finally, it should be positive for the gold markets in general.
