Gold's shine returns but the NFP remains key

After a couple of tests of $2,320, gold’s upward momentum has resumed to some degree. The strong resistance of the latest high around $2,450 is quite far away, so there’s some potential for more gains depending on the actual data for the NFP.

A clear break above $2,450 might be challenging but could be achieved if upcoming releases are negative for the dollar. The obvious stretch target in the longer term remains the 161.8% weekly Fibonacci extension around $2,575, reaching there would take some time even if there’s a quick break above the near-term resistance.

This is my personal opinion which does not reflect the opinion of Exness. This is not a recommendation to trade.
