Gold price rebounds while bitcoin takes out April low

The price of gold carves a series of higher highs and lows as it bounces back ahead of the monthly low ($1977), and bullion may continue to outperform bitcoin as BTC/USD takes out the April low ($26981).

Gold Price Outlook

The positive relationship between the price of gold and bitcoin has unraveled as the correlation coefficient current stands at insignificant reading of +0.11, and the precious metal may continue to retrace the decline from the monthly high ($2082) as it trades back above the $2018 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) region.

In turn, a close above $2075 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) along with a move above the monthly high ($2082) may push the price of gold towards $2150 (100% Fibonacci extension), but failure to extend the recent series of higher highs and lows may keep bullion within the opening range for May.
