Hello All and Good Afternoon, sorry for the late posting however i knew nothing much was going to take place, so i took my sweet time to prepare myself and analysis.
There has been so much consolidation as i indicated last night, and as we can see the RANGING market is still on up to now however after the consolidation i'm looking at a buy entry which end closer to $2000 there and then we could see a minor fall which will then lead to further analysis. Looking at OUR 1 HOUR chart $9132 and $2001 seem to be a strong consolidating zones, so we should look carefully into our entries.
Looking at $1976 very carefully just let's pray and hope it get's broken and we finalize on possibly our last pump before having a waterfall, this us what i'm looking at but at the same time $1946 is a strong confirmation of our fall, although i highly doubt we'll experience a fall bottom line we are all Bullish as of now!
Gold prices reversed course to trade higher on Thursday, as a slightly softer dollar helped counter risk appetite fuelled by easing concerns about the global banking system.
GOLD was up 0.3% at $1,968.89 per ounce, as of 0738 GMT. U.S. gold futures
GOLD were unchanged at $1,984.70.
The dollar index
DXY
eased 0.1%, making bullion more affordable for buyers holding other currencies, while Asia's stock markets held recent gains.
"In the short term, profit-taking as well as reduced fears of further contagion amongst banks should see the gold price continue to decline back towards $1,920/oz," said Michael Langford, director at corporate advisory firm AirGuide.
Gold rose above the $2,000 mark after the sudden collapse of two U.S. lenders earlier this month, but has since retreated from those levels as authorities stepped in with rescue measures, including UBS' takeover of ailing Credit Suisse and First Citizens BancShares' deal to buy failed Silicon Valley Bank.
However, the metal "held up relatively well against the headwinds", analysts at ANZ said in a note.
"Gold continues to see strong inflows in ETFs. Volumes in SPDR Gold Shares, the largest gold-backed ETF, have surged to their highest level since October," they said.
Market participants now await Friday's U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures data, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, for further monetary policy clues.
The Fed will make its interest rate decisions from here on a meeting-to-meeting basis and will take financial conditions into account in that judgment alongside other factors, Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr said on Wednesday.
The opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold rises when interest rates are increased to bring down inflation.
Markets see a 39.2% chance of the Fed raising interest rates by 25 basis points in May, according to the CME Fed Watch tool.
As indicated i'm looking at a buy sooner and nothing else, meanwhile let's see our zones broken before having them entries.
Until then CIAO!
