The tool "gold" on Monday, December 10, began a downward correction, unable to overcome the Murray level of "8/8" - 1250.00. The blue bars of the Heikin Ashi indicator eloquently signal movement towards the moving average line. In general, an uptrend on the instrument remains, that is, gold is becoming more expensive. In principle, this is not surprising, given the fact that traders in recent months really need a safe asset, if not for long-term investment, then at least for short-term operations. The demand for eurocurrency and pound sterling is now extremely low. However, the US dollar is not in high demand. First, the US currency is already overbought. Secondly, there are signs of a slowdown in the US economy. Thirdly, next year, the world may witness a change in the Fed's course on tightening monetary policy. To this can be added the focus of both channels of linear regression to the top, as well as the moving average line. We get that all the fundamental and technical factors on the side of gold. Thus, while the instrument is above the MA, the chances of continuing the upward movement remain very high.
