Gold is Getting Strong

Happy Friday, dear traders! Friday is always a little holiday, so we hope you’re ready to trade as much as possible before the weekend! Let’s see what news can be interesting for today:

Today’s events:

17:00 GMT+2 - Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment 

Gold is doing great

Gold prices topped $1,750 for the first time since August 30. It happened due to a CPI data release, which showed the US inflation rate was less than expected last month, 7.7% from 7.9% y/y. Gold, which reversely correlates with the US dollar, immediately after release gained almost 3%.

RSI overbought conditions are joining the upper line of the weekly bullish channel. Besides, the 50-HMA level acts as direct support. It’s worth noting that sustained trading above $1,765 will not hesitate to challenge the five-month horizontal resistance area around $1,805. Gold remains on the bulls' radar, but the upside seems limited.
