Gold seesaws near key hurdles to the north
Gold prices brace for the biggest weekly jump in three as it stays around the highest levels since mid-August. However, the metal still has some strong resistance ahead before offering a free ride to the bulls. Among them, a 5.5-month-old horizontal resistance area surrounding $1,805 gain major attention as RSI (14) approaches the overbought territory. Should the bullion prices remain firmer past $1,805, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of June-September downside near $1,821 can act as a validation point for the rally targeting the mid-June swing high near $1,859 and then to the June’s peak of $1,879.
Meanwhile, pullback moves remain invalid unless the gold price remains beyond the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level surrounding $1,778. Following that, Monday’s high near $1,763 and 50% Fibonacci retracement level near $1,747 may test the bears ahead of highlighting the 15-week-old horizontal support zone near $1,728. It’s worth noting that the quote’s daily closing below $1,728 could invalidate the recovery hopes and recall the sellers targeting $1,700, as well as July’s trough near $1,680.
Overall, gold is likely to witness further upside as it crossed November’s peak but further upside has limited room.
