Technical outlook

Gold is trying to recover the losses. On the weekly chart, it is moving sideways near the 100-week moving average just below $1760. On the 4-chart, we see that gold has reversed down from the 100-period moving average of $1765 and edging lower to the 50-period MA of $1750, where the metal should stop falling. The breakout below this support level will open the doors to the low of September 23 at $1740. Resistance levels are the 100-period MA of $1765 and the high of September 22 at $1780.

Here is a very strong movement in the JP 225 chart. The Japan index has massively dropped to the 50-week moving average of 28,200, which may stop the index from falling further. If it manages to close below this support level, it will drop to 27,650 – the lows of late August.
