FX.co ★ Gold : analysis for December 04, 2014

Overview :

Since our last analysis, gold has been trading sideways around the price of 1,201.00. We are waiting for a larger volume and stronger price action. According to the daily time frame, we can obesrve weak demand in a volume below average, which is a sign that buying at this stage looks very risky. Our Fibonacci expansion of 100% at the price of 1,217.00 held successfully, which enabled the price to start with a downward movement. I have placed Fibonacci retracement to find potential support levels and I got Fibonacci retracement of 38.2% at the price of 1,191.00 (held successful) and Fibonacci retracement of 61.8% at the price of 1,172.00. I have also placed Fibonacci expansion from the most recent swings to find potential end of a bearish corrective phase. I got Fibonacci expansion of 61.8% at the price of 1,197.00, Fibonacci expansion of 100% at the price of 1,186.00 and Fibonacci expansion of 161.8% around the price of 1,169.00. My advice is to look for buying opportunities near the lows (after retracement). Any larger reaction from buyers may confirm further bullish continuation.
