Gold broke above 2000 USD price tag. Geopolitical tensions and weakness in the general stock market continue to act as bullish catalysts for gold. Positive outlook for gold is also supported by a combination of bullish technical factors. Because of that we would like to set a new short-term price target for XAUUSD to 2025 USD. Additionally, we would like to set a medium-term price target to 2100 USD; and long-term price target to 2300 USD.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI reached a strongly overbought condition which reflects extreme strength of the bullish trend (this phenomenon is similar to one that is occuring in the oil market and we warned about this previously). MACD and Stochastic are also bullish. DM+ and DM- show bullish conditions in the market as well. ADX exhibits steep growth which indicates the prevailing trend is getting extremely strong (however, it also shows a warning signal). Overall, the daily time frame is very bullish for gold.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
