The break higher in gold today suggest that while we trade above the 1700 level, the risk is for a move higher, towards the 1736 level and possibly the 200-day moving average in the coming weeks ahead.
The trend line, which was broken today, was measured from the highs of March 2022. The break back above the 1700 level suggests that last month’s breakdown may be false. RSI is pointing higher and does also suggest higher prices. Also, keep in mind stronger gold prices usually means a weaker U.S. dollar (see second chart).
