Gold - Bullish signals meet resistance teaser image

(Kitco Commentary) - It's likely no surprise to regular readers of Kitco.com that gold is finding resistance just above $4400. The daily chart below is an update to the exact same one I presented in my last analysis.

I had also noted I would be closely observing daily momentum and price correlation with the expectation that momentum would stay overbought as price rose. As of today, momentum is stuck in overbought territory and actually looks to be turning back up again, with price having found minor support at $4320 on Friday of last week.

Should price continue upward, bulls can look forward to resistance around $4575. On the opposite side, of what I think is a 50/50 coinflip from here, lies a pullback with firmer support around $4250. Should the pullback scenario occur, I will be observing momentum for signs that it will turn back up from any oversold condition, quickly.

The weekly chart - shown below - looks like there's plenty of room overhead, driving my belief that entering on dips is still a prudent approach. Whether bulls will take the price all the way to $4900 on this run, and what happens from there, remains to be seen.

Jonathan Da Silva developed a passion for hard money and economics from a young age having been influenced by family who sought to teach me that "nothing is free", and the importance of intrinsic value early on. My interest in markets grew keener during the great financial crisis of 2008; leaning on family with vast trading experience, I began to self-educate on technical analysis and economics- drawing inspiration from the works of individuals like W.D. Gann and Adam Smith. I have been a proud member of the Kitco team since 2017 and hope that my writing inspires readers to consider an objective view of the metals, and the greater financial markets.
