Chart Prepared by David Song, Strategist; XAU/USD on TradingView
- The price of gold snaps the recent series of lower highs and lows amid the failed attempt to close below $2630 (78.6% Fibonacci extension), with a breach above the September high ($2686) bringing $2730 (100% Fibonacci extension) back on the radar.
- A move above 70 in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is likely to be accompanied by a further advance in bullion like the price action from earlier this year but the oscillator may start to diverge with price if the indicator struggles to push back into overbought territory.
- Lack of momentum to push above the September high ($2686) may lead to a larger pullback in the price of gold, with a close below $2630 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) opening up $2590 (100% Fibonacci extension).
