According to the analysis, gold touched a one-and-a-half year high in January this year and traded in the 1310-1360 range, but then fell due to a stronger US dollar. Speculators bet on gold prices will fall sharply, and the net long position of gold futures on the New York Futures Exchange has fallen to a 10-month low. The price of gold is now trading in a range between the 200-day moving average, which is $1307 per ounce, and the Fibonacci support at $1286 per ounce.
Currently, from a technical point of view, gold once again fell back below 1300, and the downward support is at the 1290 mark and the Fibonacci support level at 1286. If the above levels fall below, the price of gold will likely fall back to the previous low at 1281.81 US dollars per ounce. On the upside, 1300 has turned into a strong resistance level, and gold prices need to break through this level again, and hold above it to regain the uptrend.
