Technical analysis
Gold prices attempted to recapture resistance making a lower low and a higher high which is a sign of indecision. Resistance is seen near prior trend line support seen near 1,765. Target support is seen near the June lows at 1,670. Additional resistance is seen near the 10-day moving average at 10-day moving average at 1,778. Prices have moved out of oversold territory as the relative strength index (RSI) is printing a reading of 32, up from 28 which is a sign of accelerating positive momentum. Medium-term momentum flip-flopped and turned negative as the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) index generated a crossover sell signal. The MACD histogram is printing in negative territory with a downward sloping trajectory which points to lower prices.
The Fed Raises is GDP Forecast
