Since the beginning of 2020, Gold has been favouring the daily 200 simple moving average as a comfortable level of support.
The first contact we can see was in March 2020 which was during the peak of the global pandemic last year. Price created a low at $1451 before returning back above the 200sma.
Following the bounce off support, we saw price climb 42% over the next 5 months, smashing its way above the $2000 psychological round number and reaching its current all-time high of $2075.
Price has been moving sideways to down since reaching its current top and found support at the 200sma again at the end of November and formed a low at $1764.
Gold started to find strength once again and climbed up to a high of $1959 on January 6th and suffered a sharp fall which was cushioned by the 200sma once again.
The candle from January 12th is bullish and price is trying to climb up once again.
If we see a move to the upside, the 200sma may continue to come in as support and help to push price higher.
We now want to see price take out the $2000 round number and then the all-time high at $2075. Our position in Gold is still running and we are still waiting for an opportunity to add more positions once price starts to create new record highs once again.
