Gold Price Outlook: XAU/USD

The price of gold climbs toward the July high ($3439) as it stages a three-day rally, but bullion may continue to trade within the June range as the 50-Day SMA ($3343) no longer reflects a positive slope.

Gold Price Climbs Toward July High

The price of gold seems to be defending the rebound from the June low ($3248) as it extends the advance following the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, and developments coming out of the US may continue to sway the precious metal as signs of a slowing economy puts pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.

With that said, the price of gold may reestablish the bullish trend from earlier this year as it offers an alternative to fiat-currencies, but the precious metal may track the flattening slope in the moving average if it struggles to retrace the decline from the July high ($3439).

Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; XAU/USD on TradingView  

  • The price of gold bounces back ahead of the June low ($3248) to carve a series of higher highs and lows, with a breach of the June high ($3451) bringing the April high ($3500) on the radar.
  • Next area of interest comes in around $3540 (161.8% Fibonacci extension), but lack of momentum to test the July high ($3439) may keep the price of gold within the June range.
  • Lack of momentum to hold above $3370 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) may push the price of gold back toward $3280 (100% Fibonacci extension), with the next area of interest coming in around the July low ($3268).
