Headwinds for Gold Stiffen
In the recent blog post on Gold HERE I suggested those wanting to get long gold and the miners hold off and take a wait and see approach. Additionally to focus on the EURO and $USD for clues. Now, from the first chart below of the EURUSD shows price being rejected from a key resistance area.
The Euro looks to be rejected at long term resistance. ( a result of Dollar Strength )
The $USD has a technical look of something about to happen
The $USD appears to be close to opening up a path to $96 where key resistance lies. If in fact the USD breaks higher here it will be interesting to watch the speed of the move.
Gold and the Commodity Space in general do not like a rising $USD
With Price below key support and all the fast moving averages, at the least, its one to avoid on the long side. Favoring a pull back to the daily support level at $171 which also coincides with the weekly uptrend line.
$GDX Gold miners
Price looks vulnerable below $41 with $37 being a key support zone below. Can’t be long here with gold looking vulnerable.
