Gold now targets the 100-day SMA
Prices of the troy ounce of gold extended the rebound from last week’s lows in the sub-$1900 region at the beginning of the week. The decent advance was on the back of rising open interest, which is indicative that further upside remains on the table for the time being. In the meantime, extra gains should meet temporary resistance at the 100-day SMA, today at $1945.
