Gold falls during Tuesday session at major resistance area

Gold markets initially tried to rally during the trading session on Tuesday but found the $1350 level to be far too resistant. By pulling back from there, the market will more than likely find value hunters sooner rather than later.

Gold markets were choppy in the beginning of the session on Tuesday but pulled back towards the $1338 level to find buyers again. It looks as if we are trying to build up enough momentum to finally break out above the $1350 level for the longer-term, reaching towards the $1360 level. A move above there then sends the market to the $1400 level, which would take a while to get to. If we can finally break above that level, then I think that the market will be free to go much higher in more of a “buy-and-hold” scenario. Pullbacks continue to offer value but be cautious about putting too much to work in one shot. I think that the market will eventually offer plenty of value for the longer-term “buy-and-hold” traders well, but currently we are trying to build up the necessary momentum to make that happen.

I believe that the $1325 level underneath is supportive, and essentially the “floor” in the market going forward. I think that this market will course be affected by the global headlines, as we are worried about things like the conflict in Syria expanding, and of course a trade war between the United States and China. Ultimately, the US dollar has a major influence on gold as well, because if it falls it naturally provides a bit of support to gold. Ultimately, I like the idea of buying dips, but I would do so slowly as we could get a sudden pullback and the like.
