Chart of the Day
Todayβs Chart of the Day was shared by Dean Christians (@DeanChristians). Gold futures had their best day since December 2022 today, surging +3.11%. It gained +5.22% overall this week, closing at $1,942 per oz. Itβs rebounding off a seven-month low after snapping a nine-day losing streak last Friday. Dean points out that momentum got extremely oversold last week, with RSI hitting a multi-year low below 20. According to the data table, Gold tends to have strong annualized returns after RSI falls below 20. Record highs in 2023 seemed impossible for Gold after it fumbled its third breakout attempt in May. However, record highs are within reach after this weekβs reversal, as the yellow metal is just β6% below its peak.
