Gold markets tried to rally initially during the trading session on New Year’s Eve but pulled back slightly to show signs of exhaustion. I think at this point, it’s likely that the market rolling back from here should offer nice buying opportunity though as the US dollar has found weakness.

Gold markets tried to rally during New Year’s Eve but rolled over to show signs of reluctance to go higher. I think that short-term pullbacks should have plenty of buying opportunities underneath present themselves to at least the $1250 level. Looking at this market, it makes sense that Gold is going to rally as the US dollar is facing a bit of bearish pressure as the Federal Reserve has taken a break from its hawkish stance. I think at this point it’s likely that the Gold markets will continue to try to reach towards the $1300 level, perhaps even the $1400 level over the longer-term.

When you look at the longer-term charts, the $1200 level on the bottom is support while the $1400 level on the top. Expect a lot of volatility and expect buyers to come in and pick up value as it appears. I believe the 50 day EMA will offer support, and there are probably a multitude of areas between here and there that could also jump in and push the market higher. I think one of the main reasons we ran out of steam is that it was New Year’s Eve more than anything else. Liquidity will be an issue, but I do expect that Gold will get a bit of a bid early in 2019. If we broke down below the 50 day EMA, that would be rather negative but I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon.
