More currently, the gold price has been on an uptrend since October 2022 and recently starting in October 2023, on expectations of rate easing in 2024, gold surged to a new high shy of $2,100 by the end of November 2023.
Currenlty the price is showing a flag pattern indicating it will bounce off of 20 day EMA to continue on trend to a new high.
