Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD to remain bullish unless it craters under $1,770 – DBS Bank

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Gold has catapulted to a $1,974 high before giving up gains and quickly succumbed to a $1,878 low. Technically, in the bigger picture, gold’s price profile remains bullish unless it craters under $1,770, Benjamin Wong, Strategist at DBS bank, reports.

Stay constructive, buy the dips

“For gold to dispel the prospect of a corrective decline before resuming its upward path, a move that sustains over $1,950-$1,973 is required.”

“Our prior tactical $1,810 long was taken out in the recent volatile moves, and we replenish a long at $1,863. We add on at $1,810 with an invalidation at $1,770 accompanied by a $1,920 harvest point.”

“Sub-$1,780-$1,770 would be a key level for gold to hold regardless of market volatility to ensure the bullish build-up from last August’s $1,690 level stays intact. A break thus can likely alter the larger landscape; however, this is not the fancied case.”

“A noticeable gap between CFTC speculators and industry insiders needs to narrow before gold stabilises.”
