Gold Price Analysis: Bulls looking for a discount in $1560s

  • Gold top in the making with a weekly shooting star and weekly divergence.
  • H&S in the making, or follow through below 1530 and 1440 support levels.
  • Bulls will be looking for a discount is momentum holds the support line. 

Huge weekly divergence

Bears looking for a 50% retracement since divergence

The price of gold has been found floundering between 1580 and the 1560s following a surge at the start of the year to the highest levels since March 2013 at $1,611. However, the divergence on the weekly chart between momentum and price is alarmingly and a break in price to the downside could be the trigger for a top for the medium term with a downside target of 1530 ahead of 1440/50. On the other hand, bulls will be looking for a dicount here and preying price holds up and corrects higher again.
