Gold Inflects off Key Support – Daily Structure
Gold prices recently defended a critical support area. Let’s see Gold’s daily structure and note the confluence of Fibonacci and Moving Average support.
Gold has strengthened roughly 30% from its November 2008 lows, but fell short of breaking to new highs on its run-up in February.
We’ve experienced an expected/orderly pull-back/retracement off the $1,000 per ounce level into a key confluence support level that was critical for ‘gold bulls’ to hold.
The support comes in at $858/$860 per ounce, which reflects the 50% Fibonacci retracement off the October/November closing lows and the February high. The 200 day simple moving average also rests at the same level, giving us confluence support that has held.
There is also a fractal Elliott Wave count (not shown) which holds the swing from $1,000 to $900 in March as fractal Wave A; the swing back up to $975 in March as being Wave B; and finally the swing down to the $850 level in April being the final Wave C of the possible correction phase. If this fractal Elliott is correct, then we’ve just begun an upward impulse that could challenge or exceed the $1,000 level… provided the $850 support level holds.
A positive momentum divergence set-in at the $850 lows and price cleared the converging EMAs… though dropped back beneath them. Bulls need to push price comfortably above the EMA support line at $900 to make the forecast clearer. As such, holding above $900 per ounce would tip the balance overwhelmingly in favor of bulls; breaking beneath $850 would tip it back to the bears.
Let’s keep watching as the structure unfolds, but for now, it seems that $850 will hold as key support.
