The 21-day SMA rises above the 50- and 100-day, while the 200-day SMA also trends higher. Price holds above these averages, reinforcing a bullish bias.

Pullbacks would be expected to find support near the 50-day SMA, while sustained trade above the short-term averages keeps the path of least resistance to the upside.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold is seeing a deep correction early Friday, challenging bids near the $5,100 kevel, following intense volatility witnessed on Thursday.
