Gold: Bearish Momentum Builds, Further Downside Anticipated 23/7/2024

Gold prices have experienced a downward trend, retreating from the recent historical peak of $2483. The technical outlook suggests a continuation of this corrective movement.

Technical Outlook:

On the 4-hour chart, the simple moving averages (SMAs) have formed a negative crossover, indicating increased selling pressure. Moreover, the price remains below the strong resistance level of 2410, which coincides with the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level. These factors point towards a bearish bias.

Downside Potential:

We anticipate a further decline in gold prices, with a break below 2383 likely to accelerate the downward momentum. The first target for this corrective wave is 2365, the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement level, followed by a potential extension towards 2333.

Potential Reversal:

However, a close above the 2410 resistance level on the hourly chart could signal a temporary pause in the decline and potential recovery attempts, targeting 2424 and 2442.

Key Levels:

  • Resistance: 2410 (38.20% Fibonacci retracement), 2424, 2442
  • Support: 2383, 2365 (61.80% Fibonacci retracement), 2333

Important Note:

The ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to contribute to heightened risk levels in the gold market, potentially leading to significant price volatility. Traders should exercise caution and closely monitor market developments.
