Gold Price Forecast: Bearish MAs capping gains

as declared in Gold's corrective rally gathered steam on Monda, but bearish moving averages (MA) are playing spoilsport. The hard currency seems to have bottomed out at $1,238 (July 3 low), but the descending (bearish) 5-week and 10-week MAs are complicating price recovery. Further, the 50-hour MA, 100-hour MA and 200-hour MA located one above the other, indicating the path of least resistance is on the higher side. Daily chartClearly, the odds are stacked in favor of a stronger corrective rally, however, the descending 5-week MA is proving a tough nut to crack. Weekly chartThe metal's failure to hold on to gains above the descending 5-week MA has only bolstered the bearish view put forward by the descending (bearish) 5-week MA and 10-week MA and has weakened the case for a stronger corrective rally.

Gold Price Forecast: Stronger corrective rally likely

as mentioned in Short-term bullish reversal signs are seen in the gold daily and weekly chart. Weekly chartCurrently, gold is reporting marginal week-on-week gains at $1,255, having clocked a high and low of $1,261 and $1,238 earlier this week. That said, the daily chart indicates the metal is more likely than not to close above $1,261 next week. ViewThe metal could see a stronger rally towards $1,270 next week and could close above $1,261 next Friday, confirming a bull reversal on the weekly chart. On the downside, acceptance below $1,238 (Tuesday's low) would kill the probability of a stronger corrective rally and would shift risk in favor of a drop towards $1,200.

Gold Price Forecast: Bearish bias intact, but 'death cross' confirmation could yield minor corrective rally

The gold daily chart shows death cross - a bearish crossover between the 50-day and 200-day moving average (MA) - which is often used as a contrarian technique for short-term trading. So, a minor corrective rally could be on the cards. Daily chartChart source: NetstationGold will likely drop to $1,240-$1,235 in a couple of weeks, albeit after a minor corrective rally, the technical studies indicate. Hence, a minor corrective could be on the cards next week despite the death cross. ViewThe death cross confirmation could yield a minor corrective rally to $1,282-$1,285 range.
