Gold technical analysis picture ahead of data: A visual analysis of Gold's price graph shows Gold's immediate support is around $1,716.83, resistance level is at $1,806.7. In terms of trend indicators, we can see that, although down today, worth noting that at $1,741.67 Gold did peak above the 3 day Simple Moving Average earlier, usually an indication that a positive move is maybe ahead. Asset volatility analysis shows that a slight indication of recovery comes from looking at the Bollinger bands: the lower band is at $1,714.44 – a low enough level to usually suggest Gold is trading below its value. However, the CCI indicator is below -100. When the CCI (Commodity Channel Index) is at this level, it means the price is below the average price as measured by the indicator, indicating a possible start of a new downtrend.

Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape – although indicators are mixed and some are pointing in different directions, it seems Gold might reverse course and start pointing upward in the short term.
