Gold Price Forecast – Gold Markets Sluggish to Close Week

Gold markets continued to show signs of exhaustion near the $1830 level on Friday, after surging there during the day on Thursday. At this point, we are going to have to pay close attention to the US dollar, because if it starts to melt down, that might be the catalyst that gold needs to continue to go higher. If we can break out above the top of the candlestick from the Thursday session, then we could go looking towards the $1860 level. That is the top of the gap that we have seen in this market, and it should offer a certain amount of resistance. If we can break above there, then it is obvious that the market could go much higher.

On the other hand, if we were to pull back just a bit, then we could go looking towards the $1810 level, which is where the 200 day EMA currently sits. Underneath there, the market is likely to go looking towards the $1790 level as well, which is the bottom of the overall range. Breaking down below that level then opens up the possibility of a move towards the $1750 level underneath, where we had bounced from earlier this summer.

If we were to turn around a break down below that level, it is very likely that we would go towards the double bottom underneath at the $1680 level. That is an area that is massive support and breaking down below that level opens up a massive flood of selling from what I can see. Keep in mind the negative correlation to the greenback, that is going to be the most important thing to pay attention to.
