Chart of the Week – 6th September 2022
- Gold - XAU/USD – Consolidating above the key support, Seasonality in gold Weighing on the prices.
Chart Analysis:
Based on the data gold has experienced a very bearish September month over the past 5 years and faced an average loss of -2.89% during this month. If seasonality must be taken into consideration, then August was also a very bearish month for Gold, and we could see some drop in Gold prices this month too. The chart shows that prices are probably consolidating above the Key Support Level at $1710. After finding resistance at under $1728 Major Pivot Point on the chart, gold has retrieved back sharply today and now sitting at soft support at 23.60% Fibonacci around $1717. Seems gold has already been through the reversal that appears to be a fake-out and Gold could enter a Selloff from under the Key support level. The cross of 20 Day SMA Blue line and 50 Day SMA red line is happening again just after crossing on the 24th of August. The Cross this time on could mean that gold can drop back towards the support and then jump back to test new resistances on the chart.
