Gold Price Forecast – Gold markets continue to be noisy

Gold markets rallied during the trading session on Thursday, as we broke towards the $1308 level above. The market continues to be very resisted at that area, but I do think that eventually we can break above there. Part of this reaction was due to the ECB stepping away from quantitative easing only partially, and not completely as I think some traders anticipated.

Gold daily chart, June 15, 2018

Gold markets continue to be very noisy, and quite frankly continue to trade in a range. The $1308 level has offered a significant amount of resistance as of late, and I think if we can break above there for any significant amount of time, it should send this market towards the $1325 level. Short-term pullbacks should be buying opportunities, and I believe that the $1300 level should offer plenty of support. I think there is a lot of noise underneath there as well, not only through a lot of order flow, but also the uptrend line that is on the longer-term charts. That long-term uptrend line seems to be coinciding quite nicely with roughly $1290 level underneath.

Pay attention to the US dollar, it of course will have an influence on this market, but it also seems as if perhaps the Europeans were buying a lot of gold, as we had a bit of a divergence after the ECB meeting from the up gold, down dollar scenario. I believe that the market will continue to reach towards the $1325 level above, and then perhaps to the $1350 level after that. Expect noise, but I still believe in buying dips. I believe that the longer-term outlook for gold is very strong, and that the so-called “smart money” is starting to accumulate a larger position. When we short-term it’s “buy on the dips”, but longer-term I think we are building fortunes.
