Gold Trends (23 August 2017) - Updates of Mib Agenti

In the daily charts, the short term directional indicators were not successful in its attempt to stop looking weaker and didn’t manage to cut back across and higher. 

The indicators today continue sliding a little more lower and around the 60% mark and an early indication that it would likely continue correcting and resynchronising. 

The major benefit being, although the indicators are being pulled back, we do not yet see a corresponding move in gold and once the indicator has corrected sufficiently to at least the 30% mark, and managed to turn around from there with gold keeping above 1280’s, that could well send gold towards 1300 and higher. 

The medium term trending indicators are pulled towards the parity line now and without any major geopolitical events shaking the market, confidence in gold looks shaken for now and targeting the 1250’s could be a reasonable expectation in the next week. 

The long term directional indicators are still underpinning the market but the gap to the channel narrows more today with the channel almost horizontal, like it is losing trajectory. 

This also puts a top to the move for now and could become a bugbear should the market challenge the recent highs again and the only way to wash it away would be for gold to close preferable above at least 1295. 

Then to help totally erase all traces of that, a closing above 1302 will likely guarantee that and we could push towards 1320 thereafter. 

The momentum/volatility indicators are just maintaining and keeping near to the red zone, about 5 notches to push it there. 

The positive bias is losing ground at a slower pace today and not unreasonable should it start to widen again from here but hopefully with the momentum in the red zone so that we can break  out of recent ranges which have become stale now.

Interim supports are at 1283.50, 1273.50 & 1269.50 and minor supports at 1282.50, 1278 & 1270.60.

Interim resistances are at 1293.50, 1308.50 & 1320 and minor resistances are at 1291.40, 1305.90 & 1309.90.

The daily/weekly/monthly trend changer points are at 1271.35/1210/1301.60.
