Gold bounces off resistance-turned-support, Jackson Hole eyed
Gold prices have ended a two-day drop as traders look ahead to the key Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming, where a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is highly anticipated.
Gold has bounced back from its recent low, rebounding off the 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a key previous resistance line. Positive signals from the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) suggest that gold could push past the $2,520 mark comprising the 50% Fibonacci Extension (FE) of its February-June move. Following that, the buyers can aim for $2,575 and potentially $2,600.
On the downside, gold is supported by the 10-day EMA around $2,482 and a former resistance level now acting as support near $2,474. If gold drops below these levels, it could test the $2,465 mark and the 50-day EMA at $2,415. A further decline past $2,415 would need to break through a support line of around $2,410 and the $2,400 level to shift control to sellers.
In summary, gold is on a positive path, but there are hurdles ahead before it can make significant gains.
