Chart of the Week: Gold meets critical landmark

  • Gold is at a crossroads as it meets critical structure. 
  • Bulls look for the confluence of the monthly 61.8% Fibos to support.

The price of gold has been under pressure of late and is testing a critical structure as illustrated in the following top-down analysis. 

Monthly charts

The price is at a crossroads marked by the 61.8% Fibonacci of the prior bullish impulse and the 61.8% Fibo of the major bullish impulse.

Weekly chart

On an upside correction, the prospect of a bullish reverse head-and-shoulders is in the making. 

Daily chart

The price has already been resisted at the 23.6% Fibo, although the 38.2% Fibo has a confluence of the structure higher up that would be expected to be tested if the support continues to hold.
