During the European session, gold reached a high of 2,939. From that level, the instrument is undergoing a technical correction. Gold will likely make a technical rebound if it consolidates around 2,928 (21 SMA).
In case the bullish trend continues, we could expect it to surpass a high of 2,942 and even reach 6/8 Murray located at 2,968.
If gold breaks the strong resistance of 6/8 and continues its rise, in this case, the price is likely to reach $2,975 (R_3). Once it is surpassed, the price could reach the psychological level of $3,000.
