Gold Violates $1,222 – Quick Update on our Trading Signal

What’s up, fellas.

Gold is trading exactly in line with our forecast Gold Intraday Outlook: Stronger dollar drags gold to one year. It is progressively heading towards our long-term target level of $1,212. Here’s a new trading signal for today…

 

1) Fed Chair Powells – Hawkish Remarks

One of the major reasons behind a massive sell-off in gold is the hawkish remarks from the Fed Chair Powell. As we know, there’s a negative correlation between the dollar and gold. The dollar rose after upbeat comments on the U.S. economy by the Federal Reserve’s Chairman reinforced expectations by investors of the currency’s long-term strength.

 

2) Descending Triangle Pattern – Breakout

The second important reason behind a strong sell-off is the violation of sell descending triangle pattern. The market is still trading as per our plan. As you can see on the two-hour chart, gold has come out of the descending triangle pattern and is likely to continue its selling trend until the next support level of $1,221 (already violated this morning) and $1,212. The leading indicators, RSI and Stochastics, are massively oversold yet investors can stay fundamentally bearish until $1,212.
