Gold Price Predictions and Investing Strategies as Major Pullback Looms

Gold Price Trends and Investing Outlook

Gold witnessed impressive price movements in September, with the precious metal rallying to new highs above $2,600. However, recent technical indicators are pointing toward a possible correction in the coming weeks. According to forecasting platform Gold Predictors, if gold maintains its current momentum without a minor correction, a sharper decline could ensue later.

Key Insights on Technical Indicators

Since the beginning of 2024, Gold Predictors observed a steady climb in gold prices, particularly in September. Despite breaking out of a consolidating wedge pattern, analysts indicate a risk of near-term pullback towards the $2,500 support level. This pullback should be viewed as a typical healthy price movement within an uptrend.

Market Analysis and Predictions

Short-term Bearish Outlook

Trading expert Alan Santana noted that gold is at a critical juncture, potentially facing a short-term decline. Santana's analysis highlights multiple signals suggesting an impending pullback, coinciding with a target of $2,615, above a key Fibonacci retracement level.

Impact of U.S. Elections on Gold Prices

Gold's momentum also aligns with historical patterns during U.S. election years. Analysts suggest a deeper pullback could risk gold’s trajectory towards the $3,000 per ounce mark, especially given potential changes in corporate tax policies.

As of press time, gold was trading at $2,661, reflecting a 1% increase in the last 24 hours.
