XAU/USD: gold prices are consolidating 11.03.2020
Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!
NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on XAU/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.
Current trend
Gold prices are recovering during today’s Asian session, correcting after a sharp decline at the beginning of the week, when quotes retreated from their record highs since December 2012. The instrument adds about 0.77% and is actively testing the level of 1660.00 for a breakout. Hopes for new measures to support the global economy have a positive effect on the dynamics of USD. At the same time, investors remain wary of the uncertain situation with the coronavirus epidemic and the recent collapse in oil prices caused by the price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia. Finally, gold is supported by expectations of the next reduction in the interest rate by the Fed at the meeting on March 18.
Support and resistance
Bollinger Bands on D1 chart show moderate growth. The price range expands from above, freeing a path to new local highs for the “bulls”. MACD is declining keeping a weak sell signal (located below the signal line). Stochastic is slightly more stable and is located in the middle of its area.
Technical indicators do not contradict the further development of the correctional decline in the short and/or ultra-short term. Nevertheless, to open new short positions it is better to wait for the appearance of additional signals.
Resistance levels: 1660.15, 1675.00, 1689.11, 1703.07.
Support levels: 1640.00, 1630.00, 1620.00, 1611.06.
Trading tips
To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1675.00. Take-profit – 1703.07. Stop-loss – 1660.15.
The return of “bearish” trend with the breakdown of 1640.00 may become a signal for new sales with the target at 1620.00 or 1611.06. Stop-loss – 1650.00.
Implementation time: 2-3 days.
