Gold recovers after major fall

Source: Dukascopy Bank SA


The price of Gold plummeted last week due to the US Federal Reserve rate hike. The rate declined as low as 1,942.50/1,943.40, where it found support. Since the event, the price has managed to break the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages. At mid-Monday, the commodity had reached above 1,970.00.

A continuation of the commodity's recovery could aim at the high level zone at 1,984.20/1,987.70. A breaking of the high level zone at 1,984.20/1,987.70 is expected to result in an extension of the ongoing gold's recovery. The surge might be slowed down by the 1,990.00 and 1,995.00 levels, before the price tests the 2,000.00 mark.

On the other hand, a decline of the metal's price is expected to look for support first in the 200-hour SMA at 1,965.00, secondly in the 100-hour SMA near 1,960.00 and afterwards the 50-hour SMA near 1,955.00. Note that the SMAs are located at round price levels. Below the moving averages the 1,950.00 level could turn into support.
