Gold Trend Technical Indicators

Pivot Points are used by traders to find support and resistance levels based on the previous day's gold price action.

This xauusd indicator is a very useful tool that use the previous bars' highs, lows & closings to project support and resistance levels for future bars.

This xauusd indicator provides an idea of where key support and resistance should be. Place the pivot points on your xauusd charts and gold price will bounce off one of these levels. These levels are used by traders to determine market tops, market bottoms or xauusd trend reversals.

• Daily pivots points are calculated from previous day's high, low, close

Technical Analysis in Gold Trading

The central pivot itself is the primary level, which is used to determine the trend

The other support and resistance levels are also important in calculating areas that can generate significant market movements.

This xauusd indicator can be used in two ways

The first way is for determining overall XAUUSD trend: if the pivot point is broken in an upward movement, then the xauusd market is bullish, and vice versa. However, pivot levels are short-term xauusd trend indicators, useful for only one day until they need to be recalculated.

The second method is to use these points to enter and exit the xauusd markets. This xauusd indicator is a useful tool that can be used to calculate the areas that are likely to cause gold price movement.

These points should be used conjunction with other forms of technical analysis such as Moving averages, MACD & stochastic oscillator.

This xauusd indicator can be used in many different ways. Here are a few of the most common techniques for utilizing them.

XAUUSD Trend Direction: Combined with other technical analysis techniques such as overbought/oversold oscillators, volatility measurements, the central point may be useful in determining the general trending direction of the market. Trades are only taken in the direction of the XAUUSD trend. Buy signal occurs only when the xauusd market is above the central pivot and sell signal occur only when the xauusd market is below the central pivot.

XAUUSD Price Breakouts: A bullish signal occurs when the xauusd market breaks up through the central pivot or one of the resistances (typically Resistance 1). A bearish signal occurs when the xauusd market breaks down through the central point or one of the supports (typically Support 1).

XAUUSD Trend Reversals:

• A buy signal occurs when the price moves toward a support level, gets very close to it, touches it, or moves only slightly through it, & then reverses & moves back in opposite direction.

• A sell signal occurs when the price moves toward a resistance level, gets very close to it, touches it, or moves only slightly through it, & then reverses and moves back in opposite direction.

Stop Loss and/or Limit Profit Values Determined by Support/Resistance: This xauusd indicator might be potentially helpful in determining suitable stoploss &/or limit profit placements. For examples, if trading a long breakout above the Resistance 1 it might be reasonable to position a stoploss.

Combining with Moving Average Crossover System

A good indicator to combine and trade reversal xauusd signals is the moving average crossover which can be used to confirm the direction of a reversal gold trading signal.

An investor can then open an order once these two indicators give a trading signal in same direction.

Moving Average Crossover Method
