‘It appears that large fund selling in the Far East overnight is also putting pressure on the price of gold, and this move has kept the Wall Street gold traders guarding their long positions.’ – Walter Pehowich, Dillon Gage Metals (based on Reuters)
Pair’s Outlook
As forecasted before the yellow metal has retreated to the support of the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement level, above which it remained on Thursday morning. The retracement level is located at the 1,278.73 level. It is supported by the monthly R1 at 1,275.52 and the weekly PP at 1,274.84. It is most likely that after finding support during the late hours of Wednesday trading the bullion’s price will resume the surge, which was stopped short before reaching the 1,300 mark. The reason for that is the fact that there are no resistance levels up to the 1,300 level.
Traders’ Sentiment
SWFX traders are bearish on the metal, as 56% of open positions are short. However, 64% of trader set up orders are to buy the metal.
