Gold Support and Resistance

Gold trading 0.16% lower at $1,489.15 in consolidation mood around $1,400 as the recent downward correction has cancelled the positive momentum which started four weeks ago from $1,458. Gold price looks trapped between 1,480 and 1,500 the last weeks as investors await more clarity on Brexit and US-China trade tensions.

On the downside, first support for gold stands at $1,487.91 daily low and then $1,474.50 the low from October 2nd. Gold has established a strong support zone at $1,458 recent low. On the upside, the immediate resistance would be met at $1,493.53 today’s high while a move above will open the way for a move up $1,504.50 the 50-day moving average while a sustained move above 1,505 will indicate the presence of buyers and a move up to $1,519 high from October 3rd  can’t be ruled out.
