Gold pressured by the Dollar’s rally


Gold was enjoying a very good bullish trend until it got to the 1366 level as shown on the daily chart, while the Dollar was weakening. However, the Greenback gains ground versus its main counterparts and pressures the price of gold to the downside. This is due to the fact that gold is quoted in Dollars in the international markets and when the Dollar rises, the demand for the precious metal decreases. From the 1366 level gold starts to pull back to the downside until it reaches the 55 day EMA around the 1312 level. It is possible for that moving average to act as support, especially when the last daily candle is in the shape of a doji which means indecision in the market. On the other hand, if the price breaks below the 55 day EMA, then the 1300 level could act as support.
