Gold bulls still have the near-term technical advantage

The dollar is once again weaker against the euro and failing to break below USD1.4200 earlier this morning, the greenback is now on the defense.

For gold there is strong resistance at USD955 — USD960. In fact, there is increased selling in the physical market which is providing strong resistance. We have been tracking the physical market closely. Since the start of June physical buying has supported the gold price. However, we now believe this support has turned into resistance and there is more scrap selling. While we see USD955 as resistance, break above USD955 could see gold testUSD960 and USD970. Support for the metal is at USD946 and USD940.

August gold futures closed up USD3.70 at USD950.60 yesterday. Prices closed near mid-range yesterday amid a sell off in the U.S. dollar index yesterday. Gold bulls still have the near-term technical advantage. Prices are still in a steep two-week-old uptrend on the daily bar chart. Bears' next downside price objective is closing prices below solid technical support at USD920.00. Gold bulls' next upside price objective is to push and close prices above solid technical resistance at the March high of USD971.00. First resistance is seen at this week's high of USD955.40 and then at USD960.00. Support is seen at yesterday's low of USD944.60 and then at USD940.00. Wyckoff's Market Rating: 6.0.

Gold edges up on weaker dollar, dovish U.S. Fed policy bets

 Gold edged higher on Monday, helped by a weaker dollar and expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will reiterate its dovish monetary policy stance this week. Spot gold was up by 0.1% at $1,943.58 per ounce. U.S. gold futures rose 0.1% to $1,950.10 per ounce. “Gold is firm on the basis that the Fed could adopt a further dovish message with respect to average inflation targeting,” said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK. “If you want to have a policy of average inflation targeting, you’re going to have to go into detail as to how you are going to arrive at that particular outcome.” The dollar retreated on Mond ay, bolstering gold’s appeal for investors holding other currencies, ahead of the Fed’s policy decision due on Wednesday. “If inflation forecasts remain at 2% or below, this could offer gold a tailwind as the zero-yielding metal thrives in a low-interest rate environment,” said FXTM analyst Lukman Otunuga.

Image
  Gold futures closed lower on Thursday but up from its low of the session as investors battled a number of factors including U.S. economic data and outside market influences. Earlier in the session, gold fell over 1%, as positive economic data elevated hopes for a quick recovery while dampening the investment appeal of the precious metal. On Thursday, December Comex gold futures settled at $1937.40, down $11.60 or -0.60%. On the data front, a drop in U.S. jobless claims reported Thursday and positive manufacturing data reported earlier in the week are taking some shine off gold. A weaker Euro is also weighing on dollar-denominated gold by driving up thU.S. Dollar Index. U.S. weekly jobless claims fell below 1 million last week for the second time since the pandemic started, but did not signal a strong recovery in the labor market because the drop largely reflected a change in the methodology used to address seasonal fluctuations in data. Earlier in the week, a report s
