Gold’s weekly outlook: April 29 – May 03
Gold made a new low before settling near the highs for the week. Again it was a $20-$22 ranged week where gold posted gains of $13 which can be considered as a retracement from the lows as prevailing situations did not alter much to enable a shift in the trend. The week has important fundamental events with the spotlight on Fed’s interest rate decision which will generate lot of volatility with large moves expected on either side. Still the trend remains in the favor of bears till a breakout happens on the upside.
On the chart –
Gold made lower highs and lower lows formation again indicating the strength on the upside might be limited. The pattern breakdown continues to play as it was retested again in the last week and got respected. We have 2 scenarios –
1. Bulls remain sidelined as they failed to breakout excepting scalp trades though the closing can be eyed upon as a first mark towards bullishness.
2. Gold closed below the support, till this is respected it can move towards $1284. If this is taken out it can fall to $1273. And if this is breached it can slide towards $1260.
Bullish view – Bulls can have some cheer as they finally had a good week and the closing was on their favor though lot has to be done to get the trend back to bull. Breakout is required for bulls to over power bears again.
Bearish view – Bears can also have some cheer as they created a new low but failed to hang on to it. The formation of lower highs and lower lows continue to aid the bears to keep the trend intact. The pattern breakdown continues and new lows can be expected till it is respected with next major support area being $1236-$1240.
On larger terms, Gold remains bearish and prices are expected to head lower.
Possible trades are on both sides, gold can be bought once it breaks out of the flag or at the bottom of the flag/channel.
Gold can be sold under $1284 for the targets of $1273 and $1260 with a stop loss placed above $1296.
A sell-on-rallies can be useful under current scenario.
