Gold Price Prediction – Gold Continues to Trend Higher as Dollar & Crypto Decline

The gold price on Thursday (May 20) at $1,877.00, has ended the day below its highs around 0.4% up having travelled between a low of $1,863.95 and $1,883.98.

Global equities were stronger and there was stabilisation in crypto which sent the US dollar lower as yields sank as market fears of tapering have cooled upon deeper thought. The yield on the US 10-year note fell 3.8bps to 1.634%. Bitcoin had dropped more than 11% by 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday, after earlier plunging almost 30%.

''With investors sounding the alarm over inflation, institutional interest in the precious metals complex is likely to continue rising following months of outflows, providing an offsetting force against taper fears,'' analysts at TD Securities said.

"We have recently broken above the significant $1850 level, and that should kick off a bigger move, perhaps all the way to the $1950 level if we can continue to see resiliency. Pay attention to the US dollar, because if it continues to fall that could also have an effect on this market', Fxempire forecasts.

If the gold price do break down below the $1850 level, then we also need to take a look at the downtrend line that has been broken above in order to test for support again. If the gold price do break down below there, then we more than likely would go back and forth in the consolidation area between here and the 200 day EMA.

Breaking down below the 200 day EMA would then have this market selling this market. At that point, we would probably continue the overall negativity, but this would have to be accompanied by a spike in interest rates in the United States.

Looking ahead, attention is now focused on the preliminary US and eurozone May PMI data.

''We expect the service sector will lead gains in Europe, underpinned by the improved vaccination programme and gradual easing in restrictions in the euro area,'' analysts at ANZ Bank said.

'By contrast, the analysts said ''the PMI for the US is expected to ease slightly, implying growth momentum is in the euro’s favour at present.''
