FX.co ★ Strategy of the day on GOLD

Gold approaches the lower limit of its medium-term bullish channel at 1,555 suggesting a rebound. However, a break of this level will free a large potential and initiate a violent bearish channel.
Technical indicators provide buy signals and until the support is not broken the assumption of a rebound is most likely. Bollinger bands have greatly tightened in recent days showing a decline in volatility and the imminence of a violent movement.
Gold is currently testing the lower limit of its channel, we suggest 2 scenarios. The first one is the hypothesis of a rebound where we recommend a buy on the level of 1,555 with the 1st objective at 1,565 and then at 1,568. A breakthrough of 1,552 will invalidate this scenario. The second scenario is a break of its support where we advise a “sell stop” which means to sell gold as soon as it is broken through its support of 1,555 with the 1st objective at 1,545 and then at 1,542. A breakthrough of 1,558 will invalidate this scenario.
