After analysis of the movements by the gold futures since Feb. 2, 2024, I find that the big bears finally attacked on Feb. 13, 2024.
This fall was evident enough to keep the trend downward for a long as Tuesday’s move by the gold futures resulted in a supper bearish crossover in the daily chart.
On Wednesday, a hotter-than-expected inflation reading for January spurred more fears that the Federal Reserve will keep rates higher for longer.
In the daily chart, gold futures turned volatile, the same as I predicted in my last analysis finally find a breakdown below the sign support at $2000 on Feb.14, 2024, 50 indicating weakness likely to persist during the upcoming weeks if gold futures see a breakdown below the immediate support at $2000.
On the upper side, gold futures could not sustain above the significant resistance at 9 DMA, indicating a steep surge in selling pressure below the 9 DMA, currently at $2036.8571.
A downward move by the gold futures below $2000 indicates if the yellow metal sustains below this immediate support steep slide could hit the second support at 200 DMA, currently at $1979, before February ends.
Gold futures behaved exactly, same as I predicted in my last analysis about this week’s opening and follow-up moves on Monday matters a lot as the gold bugs could take a decisive move on Tuesday amid the continuity of wobbly moves by the gold futures.
In the case of the upward move, only a sustainable move above the 9 DMA in the daily chart could favor the bullish sentiments that will attract big bears to continue in case of every upward move up to $2041.
On the downside, a breakdown by the gold futures below the significant support at $ 2010 could push the yellow metal to hit the next Signiant support at 200 DMA, which is at $1979 in the daily chart.
