VWAP

Another volume indicator included in the analysis was VWAP, monthly and weekly range.

Side move is good visible here, bordered by red dotted line (1st standard deviation) and reaction on levels are shown by blue ellipses.  Support at 1918.8$ has worked several times and resistance at 1943.2$ once.

Bigger move

As we can see, tight range of the gold prices this week has tested only closer levels from analysis. Therefore, there are not mentioned another indicators from previous article. Yellow metal is still waiting for a bigger move, which could be sparked by any fundament. For example, French presidential election this weekend, where far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen gets higher numbers in poll as awaited. Le Pen as potential winner, could bring uncertainty in EU decisions policy, in addition as Bloomberg wrote. Armed with a veto on most EU initiatives, she could bring the bloc to an abrupt halt.
