Precious metals steady after sell-off
Precious metals have had a torrid time since it became apparent that Trump had won a clear victory in the early hours of yesterday morning. Gold broke below $2,700 and is currently hovering in a band of support which stretches between $2,635-$2,675. This area acted as resistance in the last week of September and the first of October. A break below here would set up a likely retest of $2,600. Just over a week ago, gold hit a record high of $2,790. Since then it has lost around 5%. It was always a concern that gold had manged to rally steadily from early June without any of the sharp, deep pullbacks that were such a feature of its trading pattern from earlier in the year. Well now there’s been one, with Trump providing the catalyst. The question now is whether there’s more downside to come, and if so, will that mark the end of the bull run , or once again provide an opportunity for the bulls to load up and go again? It’s too early to tell. But if it can find support and consolidate around current levels, then the daily MACD can reset at a less overbought area. If not, then gold will head lower to find stronger support. It’s similar situation for silver, with $31 now a level it needs to hold.
