goldXAUUSD-GOLD

The instrument is testing the key upside support 1300-1320 zone. This zone should hold for another upside test of 1360 level.

The instrument is breaking above the 12400 resistance level and is testing the key 13000 resistance now. A close above this resistance is required for an upside extension. Rejection here could lead to a pullback into the 12600-12700 zone again. The instrument clearly broke above the 13000 level which will act as a support now for the possible continuation into the 13500.

 

S&P500
