Mitsubishi: Gold Rallies May Cap At $1,225/6, Silver Needs To Breach Key Fibonacci Level
Although gold prices got a boost Friday, one analyst at Mitsubishi says the upside potential may be limited. “Rallies may be capped at $1,225/6, this week’s spot high and the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the year to date high to low,” says Jonathan Butler, precious metals strategist for the firm. Looking at silver, Butler says a break above a key Fibonacci retracement level may push silver prices past major moving averages. “The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the January to March high to low move is being tested at $16.52,” he says. “A break above this level may see silver clear the 50 and 100-day moving averages to the upside, confirming the bullish trend.” Butler also notes that silver bullion coins by the Perth Mint reached four-month highs in March “at 639 koz as investors and collectors bought into attractive prices.”

Triland Metals analysts say gold is struggling in the aftermath of Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee minutes release; however, the metal may be forming a base. “Without a paying dividend and within the context of a buoyant stock market, gold is struggling to garner an investment case,” they say. “But then neither is it rushing away to the downside in and around the $11 big figure and we believe the metal is building a base,” they add. Analysts also note that they expect other commodities to see a “real flush out to realign the chronic supply surplus we have had since 2008.”
