👉 Top charts of the week: GOLD & US100
Volatility soared last week following the FOMC meeting. Large price swings could be observed on gold, USD and stock markets.
GOLD
Gold market has experienced a massive sell-off recently. Looking at the daily time frame, we can see that the precious metal broke below the upward channel and the downward move accelerated. However, buyers managed to halt decline ahead of a key support zone at $1,755, which is marked with previous price reactions. Should the upward correction extend, the nearest resistance to watch can be found at the upper limit of local 1:1 structure at $1,809. This area is also strengthened by the local low from mid-May. On the other hand, breaking below the aforementioned support at $1,755 may pave the way for a bigger downward move.
