Gold prices have fallen back under the important $1,680 after the yellow metal saw renewed selling due to safe-haven demand for the greenback due to a number of factors.
With the inverse relationship gold shares with the US dollar index it is possible that further downside lay ahead. This is especially so if we see the US dollar index cracking the 115.00 level.
Traders should be very cautious towards this recent price decline under the $1,680 level while it remains, and gold starts to stabilize under this key former breakout zone.
Going forward I expect that the US CPI report will dictate the state of play for gold. Should we see a strong CPI number it is possible that gold is going to head back towards the lows of the year.
I would also suggest that gold has been sensitive to geopolitical news. Gold has been under pressure on bearish Ukrainian war news because the greenback has again benefitted from safe haven flows.
Current sentiment metric towards gold shows that sentiment has remained the same since last week, which could hint an eventual bearish breakdown in the price of gold.
The ActivTrader market sentiment tool shows that 54 percent of traders are bullish towards gold. Going forward, we really need to see a negative bias by retail to help the chances of a sustained recovery.
Current sentiment metrics may make do not make it difficult for gold price to rally, especially with this key tech levels now broken.
