XAU/USD market insights

Pivot points are a technical indicator that traders use to predict upcoming areas of technical significance, such as support and resistance. They're calculated by averaging the high, low and closing prices of a previous period. That could be a day, a week or a month.

If a market is trading above its previous pivot point (known as P), it is seen as a bullish signal. If it is below, it is bearish.

Support and resistance levels are a core part of technical analysis, providing crucial insight into possible future price reversals.

XAU/USD overview

Gold’s popularity has grown over the past few years as an alternative currency trade. Many traders look to the precious metal as a hedge against inflation and storage of value – thus, it is often referred to as a “safe-haven” investment. Historically, gold prices tend to move inversely with the U.S. dollar, however with rising geopolitical uncertainty over the past 5-years this correlation is no longer as evident. In response to greater demand and product diversification, gold has begun to trade relative to other currencies as well. Currently, we offer XAU/USD, XAU/EUR, XAU/GBP, XAU/CHF, XAU/AUD.
