Gold breaks out of a flag pattern, showing bullish potential with solid support at 1,952 and upside targets at 1,997 and 2,010. Aiming for new record highs eventually.
The recent retracement low of 1,952 yesterday provided solid support given the several technical confirmations of that price zone being a key pivot. It includes the 34-Day EMA, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, and an internal uptrend line. Also, the bullish price advance that occurred after the bottom provides additional bullish evidence.
Gold is technically prepped to continue to evolve its uptrend to test prior highs around 2,082, and then exceed that high and move into new record highs. When might this happen is the question. Therefore, the recent high and current prices may be the lowest prices for gold in some time. We will be watching momentum and price behavior closely following today’s breakout to identify signs of weakening and strengthening.
