Up $16.50 on the day. Looks toward trend line resistance

The dollars decline (trading at near the lowest level since 2015) has gold moving higher.

The price of gold is trading up about $16.50 or 0.60% at $1338.72. The price traded as low as $1308 on Wednesday.

The move higher has the precious metal looking toward a topside trend line at $1344.36. The high price from 2017 was up at $1357.

Per an earlier post , the dollar index is testing the lowest level since 2015. A move below that level would be more bearish technically for the greenback. That could spell more upside for the price of gold too. Be aware.
