Gold faces interim hurdle around $1,880
Gold prices extended the upside momentum on Friday amidst rising open interest, which is indicative of further gains in the very near-term. That said, a sustainable breakout of the 200-day SMA ($1,846) should sustain the continuation of the uptrend, with the next minor resistance around $1,880 per ounce troy (tops seen in late January).
