Gold Technical Analysis: Prints fresh three-month high above $1520, takes-out 61.8% Fibonacci

  • Gold escalates the week-start rise towards the key near-term resistance.
  • Bears will look for entry below 61.8% Fibonacci retracement if overbought RSI conditions are to be believed.

Gold takes the bids to $1,521.50 during the initial trading session on Tuesday. In doing so, the yellow metal successfully breaks 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the declines from September to November.

Bulls are now gearing up to confront the September 24 high, near $1,525, ahead of targeting the September month top, at $1,557.

It should also be noted that the Bulls’ dominance past-$1,557 will look towards mid-April 2013 levels near $1,590.

Meanwhile, a daily closing below 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of $1,514.40 can trigger fresh pullback towards 50% Fibonacci retracement surrounding $1,500 round-figure.

However, the safe-haven’s declines beneath the same will be the call for the Bears’ command targeting early-month tops near $1,484.

$40 trillion debt black hole: Is a financial crisis coming?

The United States is closing in on a milestone that would have been almost unimaginable not long ago: $40 trillion in national debt. That staggering figure framed the latest episode of the Money Metals Midweek Memo, as host Mike Maharrey examined what he calls the economy’s “debt black hole” and zeroed in on a relatively obscure corner of the financial system that could become a much bigger problem: the $1.4 trillion private credit market.
