Gold Weekly Price Forecast – Gold markets pulled back
The Gold markets pulled back a bit during the week, forming a somewhat negative looking candle stick in the face of the $1300 resistance barrier. I think at this point, if we can break above the $1300 level we will see quite bullish pressure.

The US dollar rallied a bit during the week, breaking above the top of the previous week which of course is a very bullish sign. However, I think there is plenty of resistance just above just waiting to get involved, showing signs of exhaustion will attract a lot of attention.

The Euro pulled back a bit during the week, reaching towards the 1.1380 level. However, I do see a lot of support underneath and it’s possible that we will continue to see a lot of volatility. That being the case, it does look as if we are trying to form a bit of a rounded bottom.

The British pound pulled back during the trading session on Friday bouncing down from the 200 day EMA on the chart. This is also the downtrend line of the descending triangle that we have been recently trading and, so it makes sense that we got a little bit of a pullback after this explosive move higher.

GBP/JPY Price Forecast – British pound pulls back
The British pound initially tried to rally again during the day on Friday, but then rolled over as we have gotten a bit ahead of ourselves. That being said, I think there is support underneath as well so the question is whether or not it is going to be and exhaustion play, or is it just simply pulling back to find more momentum underneath.
