Gold easing back after a nice rally Thursday
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Gold futures blew off the potential headwind of a higher US Dollar to finish just off the highs of the session.
Gold now in middle of 1,349 – 1,384 range; projected target higher, though
Gold traders are awaiting a more decisive move in either direction by the DXY before they bet heavily in the near-term direction for gold. With some technicians calling for a big move higher in the DXY, buying gold heavily at current levels seems a risky proposition for some. Buying gold closer to 1,349 support or on a breakout above 1,384 seems to be the play for aspiring gold longs in the short-term.
Technical outlook for gold
Technicians are still calling for gold to make it up to 1,438 – 1,441 before this bigger-picture corrective upside move runs out of gas. Short-term support and resistance for gold comes in at the previous breakout point of 1,349.10 and the recent peak at 1,384.10 respectively.
