Technical and fundamental analysis for Gold – March 2022

The tensions on a global scale are still very high, and 2-weeks after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and countless sanctions against Russia, the war is starting to show a significant impact on all financial market sectors.

Goldman Sachs sees gold price @2500 USD/oz by the end of 2022

“The last time that we saw all major demand drivers accelerate simultaneously was in 2010-2011 when gold rallied by almost 70 percent. Given the upward material revision in investment and demand assumptions, we now upgrade our 3 /6 / 12-month gold targets from $1950/2050/2150 an ounce to $2300/2500/2500 per ounce,” wrote Mikhail Sprogis, Sabine Schels, and Jeffrey Currie of Goldman Sachs in a recent note.

Gold price highest since August 2022

In terms of SEK

In terms of the Swedish Krona, the gold price has quickly gained a lot in value. The gold price has spiked roughly 20% since the beginning of February. In the second week of March 2022, the gold price reached a new historical high.

In terms of USD

The gold price almost touched the historical all-time high @2075 USD/oz in US dollars but did not breakthrough.

In terms of EUR

Because of the war in Europe, its currency euro has weakened a lot, and for that reason, gold made a historical all-time high @1900 EUR/oz on March 8th.

Technical indicator analysis

*Blue lines are short term support & resistance lines

(Picture 1. Trendlines & Support/Resistance)

• In February’s technical and Fundamental analysis, we talked about the triangle wedge and a potential breakout from there.
• On February 11th, gold bulls broke through a significant triangle wedge, and the price closed firmly above the downtrend line (upper line of the triangle).
• From that point forward gold price has strongly spiked up.
• There was a robust resistance area around 1912 USD/oz, but because of the increasing uncertainty in the World, gold bulls did not have much trouble breaking through that resistance area.
• Since then, the gold price has shot up almost 90 degrees vertically – a significant price increase in a short time.

Fibonacci retracements (addition to Trendlined & Support/Resistance)

(Picture 2. Fibonacci tool)

• Since gold price is trading near an all-time high, we must use the Fibonacci retracement tool, in order to determine a new potential all-time high.
• According to the Fibonacci tool, the next important 61.8% retracement line is @2469 USD/oz.
• This is a great time to remind you what we wrote at the beginning of the article – Goldman Sachs sees gold price @2500 USD/oz by the end of 2022.

Moving Averages

(Picture 3. – Moving Averages)

• We can clearly see that roughly a year, gold was consolidating.
• Gold was consolidating up and down between the rectangle is marked in picture 3.
• Also trading very near to the 250MA line, bouncing up and down.
• Since the first week of February gold has had a clear direction – straight up!
• 250MA with price action (two bullish pin bar candles in a row just above 250MA line) – very strong bullish indicator.

RSI

• RSI indicator is currently in an oversold area.
• We have a strong uptrend and RSI indicator corrections are steep, it is a great time to wait for RSI divergence to appear.
• The RSI divergence in correlation with trendlines & support/resistance areas is historically a very potent area to enter.
