Gold hits resistance and loses momentum 6/3/2024

Gold prices experienced significant gains during the previous trading session, in line with the anticipated positive trend, nearing the historical peak recorded around $2144 per ounce and reaching a high of $2141.

Analyzing the technical aspects today, particularly on the 4-hour timeframe, we observe that the resistance level at $2144, representing the historical peak, effectively halted further upward movement, establishing a formidable barrier. Additionally, the Stochastic indicator is signaling a loss of bullish momentum, indicating a potential shift in sentiment.

With prices currently trading below the crucial resistance of $2144, there is a possibility of a bearish trend emerging in the current session. Initial targets for this downtrend include a retest of $2110 and $2105, with further potential declines to $2095 and $2085 before any subsequent upward attempts.

It is essential to note that a breakthrough above the historical peak at $2144 would likely propel gold prices to achieve additional gains, targeting levels around $2156 and $2165.

Warning: The current market environment carries a heightened level of risk.

Warning: High-impact economic data releases are expected today from both the American and Canadian economies, including changes in private non-agricultural sector jobs, job vacancies, labor turnover rate, and testimony from the Federal Reserve Governor. Expect increased volatility during these releases.

Warning: Geopolitical tensions persist, adding to the overall risk factor and potential for heightened price volatility.
