  • I will also be moving my stop locking in profit at a price level of $ 1325/ ounce.
  • Next level to break for a move higher will be $ 1360/ ounce.

Technical take on Gold (XAU)

Due to international political uncertainty, we have seen Gold break through the $1300/ ounce level as of yesterday, 28/08/2017. Today there have been reports of North Korea firing a missile over Japan which I would suspect will see the flight to safety escalate and the gold price increase.

Just take note that the price might retrace back to the $1300/ounce level, to find support and move higher from there.

Trade: Gold (XAU)

  • ENTRY Long (Buy): $1316/ ounce
  • STOP: $1274/ ounce
  • TARGET PRICE 1: $1352/ ounce
  • TARGET PRICE 2: $1390/ ounce

Always remember to apply your risk management measures before placing your trades as this will keep you trading in the markets.
