Gold has seen a slight uptick during the early stages of the European session, distancing itself from recent lows near the $1,985 mark observed in the previous session. This upward movement can be attributed to a continued decline in US Treasury bond yields, which has subdued the strength of the US Dollar (USD), consequently providing support to the precious metal.
From a technical standpoint, the price has reached a demand area and resistance zone, indicating a potential opportunity for traders to buy the precious metal at a discounted price in anticipation of a future increase in its value. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) appears to have moved away from the oversold region, indicating potential growth. Additionally, the price has touched the dynamic trendline of the lower side of the bearish channel. These factors combined may present an attractive opportunity for traders.
Furthermore, ongoing geopolitical tensions arising from conflicts in the Middle East are acting as a tailwind for gold, further supporting its price.
Despite these bullish indicators, a significant upward movement remains elusive due to the prevailing belief that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will maintain higher interest rates for an extended period. This sentiment is based on the resilience of the US economy and persistent inflationary pressures, which could deter traders from placing aggressive bullish bets on gold, given its non-yielding nature.
In light of these factors, we anticipate a bullish movement in gold, with silver also exhibiting positive momentum, as discussed in our previous analysis.
