Brian, hello everyone!
Yesterday, we witnessed a trading session where the price of gold continued to plummet from $1900 to $1874. The strong support level of $1900 was broken, and both the RSI and the gold price traded below the 34 and 89 EMA lines, indicating a downward trend.
In addition, market information reveals that the US dollar's rise in value is not only due to the improving US economy but also because of the high interest rates in the country. The US basic interest rate is currently at its highest level in 22 years, ranging from 5.25% to 5.5%. This directly affects the precious metal.
The current upward movements may only be temporary, and we need to wait for further developments from the Federal Reserve to have a clearer picture of gold's future direction.
