The price of gold has surged to an all-time high, reaching $2,354 as the Chinese market opened for trading. Traders responded positively, surprised by the strong buying activity from the People's Bank of China (PBOC) entering the gold market.
However, this calls for caution, suggesting a need to wait for some consolidation in the short term or a modest pullback before the next upward move in prices. Nevertheless, this also indicates that the gold market is in a strong upward trend and any price decline may present a new buying opportunity.
From a technical perspective, there are positive signs supporting the upward trend. The price has surpassed the moving averages SMA and SMA 20 are sloping upwards, signaling a clear indication of a strong uptrend.
