Gold technical analysis: Gold bears in control, headed for a test of the 20-DMA

 

  • Gold support has given way to a move back into the symmetrical triangle.
  • The 20-day moving average is now a key target on the downside.  

Gold had  been bumping  along  the symmetrical triangle’s prior resistance following a breakout through the 1450 level which was followed by a fade back to the symmetrical triangle.  Should price hold  below 1420/25, bears will then look for a run below the 1400 psychological level. The 23.6% Fibo of the latest swing lows and highs are located at 1398. The $1,373/76 zone comes into play thereafter which meets the 19th June spike correction lows and the 38.2% Fibo of the same swing ranges.

Directly below the price in this move,  we can see that the 20 daily moving average is located at 1413, this too is a key level to the downside as will  the 50 and 100-days moving averages.
