Gold technical analysis: Multiple supports to validate sellers’ entry, $1530 be the first

  • Overbought RSI conditions triggered Gold’s pullback from the multi-year high.
  • Two-week-old horizontal support, rising wedge support and 4H 100MA become the key downside levels to watch.

Overbought conditions of 14-bar relative strength index (RSI) drag Gold from multi-year high to $1,535 ahead of Wednesday’s European session.

The yellow metal has multiple downside supports to validate the bear’s entry. Among them, a two-week-old horizontal-line surrounding $1,530 becomes the first one, followed by 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of current month upside, at $1,519.

However, $1,511/08 seem to be crucial as it comprising 100-bar simple moving average (4H 100MA) and support-line of a monthly rising wedge bearish formation.

Should prices decline below $1,508, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 1,459 gains market attention.

Meanwhile, $1,545, $1,555 and rising wedge resistance of $1,560 can limit the bullion’s near-term upside, a break of which could escalate the north-run towards $1,600 round-figure.

The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s  irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest 

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
