Gold price finding support at the 40 day moving average

The gold price has found support at the 40 day moving average but seems unsure which way to break next.

As you can see that  level $1792 has now become so very strong overhead resistance that basically has been in place now for over a year. Last week and the week before the bulls would try to take the price above that level, but every time the gold price was pushed back down.

There’s probably a bit of frustration in this move lower this week, but we’re only talking about a couple of per-cent so in the scheme of things it barley registers. However it certainly has taken the wind out of the bulls’ sails.

€ Gold has found some good support around the €1327 (the old monthly all time closing high).

At the moment the gold market seems a bit directionless with a negative bias, not knowing where the next bit of news to take gold higher is going to come from has lead to take some profits after the nice run up from $1560.

Should that $1740 level not hold up then the next level to watch for will be $1720 which will be a tough level for the bears to take gold through should we get there.
