On Friday, gold prices plummeted $66 for the first time since December 2020, below its 200-day moving average. After trading to a low $1828, gold futures closed a low $1836, four dollars below its 200-day moving average.
Today, gold open at $1849, merely $9 above the 200-day moving average and in the evening session traded to an intraday low of $1817 before recovering.
Gold’s most active February 2021Comex is currently fixed at $1847, up by $11.60. Market participants have re-focused their attention to the precious metal after a lower composite trading by all three of the major indices - the Dow, the NASDAQ, and the S&P 500, while Bitcoin also faces a strong sell-off.
The price increase on the yellow metal today has managed to overcome the greenback’s strength. While the dollar is fixed at 90.485, up +0/48%, gold futures are currently trading up +0.63%. A neutral dollar would have seen gold gaining 1.11%.
On the technical side, the lowest level of support occurs at 50% retracement, currently fixed at $1768.60 and above that is the 200-day moving average fixed at $1840 currently. That is just above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level, a data set beginning in March when gold traded at $1400 to the all-time record high of $2088 in August 2020. While the current pricing of the precious metal is close to levels of support, the first resistance is the current 50-day moving average, occurring at $1869.
