FX.co ★ Daily analysis of GOLD for May 23, 2016

Overview

The gold price has not shown any strong moves since morning, still steadily fluctuating within a tight track above the $1,243.17 level. Therefore, there is no change in the bullish trend scenario that is supported by stochastic reaching the thresholds of the oversold areas. The price is likely to breach $1,274.70 levels to open the way to extend the bullish wave towards $1,303.58 followed by $1,344.85. Therefore, the bullish trend will remain suggested on the intraday and short-term basis. A breach of the last level will extend the gold price's gains to $1,344.85; while a break of the $1,243.17 level will push the price to extend its bearish correction to $1,205.80 as the next main station.

The expected trading range for today is between the $1,240.00 support and the $1,280.00 resistance.
