Gold prices finished the week near 8-year highs and continue to trend higher. Support is seen near the 10-day moving average near 1,801. A break of this level could lead to a test of support near the 50-day moving average near 1746. Resistance is seen near the July highs at 1,815. Medium-term momentum has turned negative as the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) index generated a crossover buy signal. This occurs as the MACD line (the 12-day moving average minus the 26-day moving average) crosses above the MACD signal line (the 9-day moving average of the MACD line).
