In turn, a further advance in bullion may push the RSI into overbought territory, with a move above 70 in the oscillator likely to be accompanied by higher gold prices like the price action from earlier this month.
With that said, the price of gold may continue to register fresh record highs as it extends the rally from earlier this week, but the RSI may show the bullish momentum abating if it struggles to push into overbought territory.

Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; XAU/USD on TradingView
- The price of gold pushes above the February high ($2956) as it stages a three-day rally, with a break/close above $3000 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) opening up $3050 (100% Fibonacci extension).
- Next area of interest comes in around $3160 (161.8% Fibonacci extension), but lack of momentum to break/close above $3000 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) may lead to a pullback in the price of gold.
- Need a move below $2940 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) for bullion to threaten the bullish price series, with a move below the weekly low ($2880) raising the scope for a test of the monthly low ($2858).
