The precious metal is currently holding in the support zone defined by the 50-day exponential moving average (blue curve on the chart), which may currently be the main control level for GOLD. A possible upward breakout could take gold to the zone of the psychological barrier of $2,000 per ounce (another historically important supply zone).
