Gold: struggle with upside momentum

60
The price of gold was traded at modestly higher grounds during the week, which was impacted by the further weakening of the US Dollar and also concerns raised by the approval of the so-called Trump's tax megabill, which passed the US Senate during the previous week. Investors perceive tax cuts negatively, which are estimated to add $3,4 trillion to already concerned US debt over the period of the next 10 years. As analysts are commenting, on a long run increased US debt will further weaken US Dollar, which will be positive for the price of gold.

The price of gold started the week around the level of $3.250 and headed toward the highest weekly spot of $3.360. It is ending the week modestly lower, at $3.336. The RSI is still not showing any clear movement to either side, sliding around the level of 50.The MA50 has shortly continued to act as a supporting line for the price of gold, although it has been breached at one moment during the week. MA200 is moving without a change, with a holding uptrend. The potential cross is still not in store for these two lines.

The week ahead is not bringing currently important macro data for the US economy, in which sense, higher volatility is not expected. Still, any news related to trade tariffs, might shortly move the market to one side. Current charts are showing that the price of gold is struggling to sustain the upside momentum, in which sense, some further retracements might be possible in the weeks to come. As per current charts, the support line at $3.280 might be tested in the coming period. On the upside, no significant movements are to be expected. There are some probabilities for the level of $3.360 in the week ahead, with lower probability that $3.400 resistance could be tested again.
