Technical outlook:
Gold prices rose through $1857 highs before finding resistance late during the New York Session on Thursday. The yellow metal is seen to be trading around the $1846 mark at this point in writing and is expected to find support close to $1830 intraday. Bulls will be poised to resume higher thereafter and hold prices above $1805 interim lows.
Gold prices are broadly within a counter-trend rally since the $1,786 low registered in May 2022. The precious metal has successfully terminated the first and second waves around $1,880 and $1,805 respectively. If the above structure holds well, prices are on their way towards $1920 going forward.
Gold prices might encounter intraday support around the $1,830 mark, in line with the Fibonacci 0.618 retracement of its lower degree upswing between $1,815 and $1,857. Notably, the metal is working on a larger degree downswing between $1,998 and $1,786 and the Fibonacci 0.618 retracement is seen towards $1,920 as well. There is a high probability of a bearish turn thereafter.
Trading plan:
Potential rally through $1,920 against $1,781
Good luck!
