Gold Weekly Price Forecast – Gold Markets Crater for The Week

Gold markets initially shot higher during the week, reaching towards the $1700 level. That is an area that of course offers a lot of resistance, as it is a large, round, psychologically significant figure. By turning around the way it has, it looks extraordinarily negative as we sliced through the $1600 level. By breaking through there, it shows quite a bit of negativity and a real lack of follow-through. At this point, it’s likely that the market continues to go a little bit lower, or perhaps kills time by going sideways. A simple bounce back is a bit much to ask, at least without some type of stabilization.

The market is still in an uptrend, but this is clearly a “shot across the bow” for those who would be bullish of gold. Longer-term, it’s probably very likely that we do continue to the upside in a bit of a safe haven bit, but a lot of forced liquidation has been going on this week, as margin calls are being fired off in other markets. Large funds will have to sell profitable positions to keep afloat, and that may be what’s going on with the gold market currently. It certainly isn’t US dollar strength, because quite frankly there is none. At this point, it’s likely that the market continues to be very jittery and nervous, so if you are looking to go long, waiting for some type of supportive daily candlestick is probably the best way to go. That, or perhaps a recapturing of the $1600 level.
