Gold broke-out in mid 2004 at $415. From there it spent a year consolidating and staying above the break-out. In September of 2005 Gold trended higher and starting a trend. Fibonacci Levels have proven important to watch. When break-outs occur they usually tend to move in 61.8% advancements. Hence a break of $415 produced a target of $671 (415 x’s 1.618). Next was 2.618 x’s the $415 price = $1,086. Notice how this level provided support in early 2010 and again in late 2015 early 2016. From there the 3.618 x’s $415 price gave a readable target of $1,501.
Now we find ourselves at this juncture. Breaking-out of the downtrend and dealing with a key Fibonacci level. IF Gold can continue, then the next Fibonacci target would appear to be $1,916.
One of the drivers to watch is the Global Real Rate of Return. Currently ALL major economies (U.S., England, E.U, Switzerland, and Japan) have negative real rates of return!
