Technical analysis update: XAUUSD (16th December 2021)

Gold responded pretty well to yesterday's FOMC meeting. It soared from as low as 1753 USD yesterday to as high as 1798 USD today. We continue to maintain a bullish view on gold as we expect the tightening cycle (with presence of high inflation) to be very bullish for gold. Additionally, we expect gold to break above the resistance level at 1835 USD. We expect this breakout to be accompanied by resumption of the uptrend that will culminate in a new all-time high for gold in 2022.

Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI started to grow slightly (after a long period of sideways moving action) which is bullish. Stochastic is also bullish. MACD tries to reverse its direction to the upside. DM+ and DM- are due to perform a bullish crossover in the following days. ADX remains low which suggests that the prevailing trend remains neutral.

Final note - daily time frame
Overall, no trend is present. Price remains stuck between 1750 USD and 1835 USD. We continue to await a bullish breakout above the 1835 USD price tag followed by subsequent resumption of the bullish trend.

Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI and Stochastic are neutral. MACD remains in the bearish area; however, it needs to be observed closely in the following weeks as we expect it to perform a bullish crossover above 0 points. DM+ and DM- continue to show bearish condition. Though, ADX is very low which suggests no trend is present.

Final note - weekly time frame
Weekly time frame shows similar conditions as the daily time frame. No trend is present and price remains stuck between the support level at 1750 USD and the resistance level at 1835 USD.
