Gold Price Forecast March 16, 2018, Technical Analysis

Markets rolled over during trading on Thursday, as we continue to see a lot of noise in the world’s financial markets. The gold markets of course are very sensitive to risk appetite, and it is most certainly negative during Thursday trading.

Gold markets have fallen rather significantly during the trading session on Thursday, reaching down towards the $1315 level. This is an area that has been supportive more than once, so I would not be surprised at all to see some type of bounce here. With that in mind, I would be willing to buy a small position, expecting a return to the $1330 level above. If we broke down below the region that we are in now, then I think buyers will return closer to the $1300 level. Remember, this pair is highly sensitive to risk appetite, and the US dollar has rallied a bit during the day, so that of course can cause downward pressure here.

The market looks likely to continue to be very noisy, and I think that you will need to watch your position size because of this. At this point, I’m going to be very patient, but I think that this is going to present a buying opportunity that you can take advantage of and continue the overall back and forth trading. I don’t have any interest in shorting this market anytime soon, so I’m looking for buying opportunities only, and I think that the market participants will continue to do the same for the most. I don’t have any interest in shorting this market, as I see far too much in the way support underneath, and I also recognize that the geopolitical concerns around the world having done away, so we could have a bit of a run towards gold if there is panic.
