Navigating Gold’s swings- from December corrections to January predictions

By Bhavik Patel

In the first week of December, it felt gold was getting reality checked as market was getting ahead of themselves. Gold crashed from $2100 to below $2000 but after that gold has steadily climbed back now to nearly $2080.

In the current context points towards a continued upward trajectory, we believe the initial target will be in the vicinity of $2100 per ounce before we might see either correction or fresh upside momentum. Gold in MCX just touched overbought zone as RSI_14 retraced from 70 to 63.
