Gold Market Technical Analysis

Gold markets have rallied initially during the trading session on Wednesday, just as we had done on both Monday and Tuesday. Just like those 2 days, we have seen a lot of selling pressure, and it suggests that gold is still trying to find a reason to break down. The 50-Day EMA is sitting just below, and it does make a certain amount of sense that if we can break down below there, then it’s likely that we could go to the 200-Day EMA. That is near the $1800 level, which is a large, round, psychologically significant figure and an area where we have seen a lot of noise in the past.

If we break above the tops of the last 3 candles, then it would be very bullish and could send this market racing towards the $1950 level. We would need to see the US dollar softened in order to make that happen I suspect, although I do think longer term both the dollar and gold will rally. As things stand right now, it’s very difficult to see a reason for this market to go overly bullish without some type of external catalyst, so I anticipate at best we will probably consolidate.

The last couple of huge candles have both been red, and typically those don’t happen in a vacuum, so I do think that the sellers still have a lot to say, so we will have to pay attention but if they can break things down we could see a bigger flush lower. That being said, a break above these inverted hammers would be a huge sign of strength. I suspect we are winding up for a bigger move.
