Today's forecast for gold is to sell around 965 dollars per ounce gold.

Gold has rallied to 966 recently and a correction is overdue. Thus, whenever gold hovers around 965 levels or 960 plus, trade with a sell position. The 940 price level is the short term target.

Next target for gold: 940
Today's oscillation for gold: 965-940
Today's gold trend: Down

Gold finished slightly lower Friday on pre-weekend profit taking, catching its breath after a sharp increase since the conclusion of the FOMC meeting. Technically gold lost just 1.70 dollars so this limited profit taking combined with the fact that the 9 day moving average crossed above the 40 day moving average are good indications for the bulls. The move was interpreted as ‘rather a healthy consolidation' by some traders given that gold is expected to rise further due to inflation fears.

The short term trend is sideways while the medium and long term trends are bullish.
