The gold chart shows that the pair jumped up by $28 or 1.64% yesterday and now already testing the July month's peak before the Gold dropped sharply on 5th July due to the high inflation print. The jump was pushed by the dropping dollar from 105 to under 104. The pair is not making higher highs and lower lows moving to test the longer-term resistances on the chart.
The 20-day SMA is rising to catch up with the prices and is followed by the 50-day SMA. The 200 Day SMA has also dropped below the prices indicating a full bullish bias of the markets.
