Gold Prices Rise Strongly on China and India's Demand for StockOn the chart, gold prices have broken the $2,700 resistance zone and continued to rally, with the 34-EMA and 89-EMA lines pointing up, reinforcing the short-term bullish trend. Fibonacci suggests that the next resistance level could be at $2,740, followed by $2,780, corresponding to the 1.61 and 1.68 Fibonacci levels.
Although gold prices may have minor corrections in the short term, the main trend remains bullish. If gold holds above $2,700, the next target will be the $2,740 – $2,780 zone.
In addition, China and India's increasing gold reserves, especially in the context of preparations for festivals and traditional New Year, are an important factor driving gold prices higher. At the end of the year, gold demand in these two countries often increases sharply because gold is used as gifts and jewelry in important events.
China is one of the countries with the largest gold reserves in the world, and India is the largest gold consumer, especially during festival seasons such as Diwali or Tet. This causes a sudden increase in demand for gold, putting pressure on global supply and pushing prices higher.
The central banks of China and India continue to buy gold to protect the value of their foreign exchange reserves, which creates upward pressure on gold prices in the short term and may continue to push gold prices to record highs by the end of this year.
In the context of strong demand for gold from major markets such as China and India, combined with technical analysis showing that the upward momentum is dominant, I predict that gold prices are expected to continue to increase in the coming time. The next important resistance level lies at $2,740 – $2,780, and any correction is a buying opportunity.
