The precious metal hit a record high on Monday, as 24K jumped Dh3.25 per gram to Dh273.75 per gram on Monday morning.
Nick Cawley, senior strategist at dailyFX, said the daily gold chart shows a bullish technical pattern is nearly fully formed so a breakout is due soon. A Bullish Pennant pattern is a short-term consolidation pattern that is formed by support and resistance merging.
IG client data showed that retail investors are betting against gold. Currently, 55.46 per cent of traders hold net-short positions, resulting in a 1.25 to 1 short-to-long ratio. While this bearish positioning has remained largely unchanged since yesterday, it has increased by 6.15 per cent from last week. Conversely, net-long positions have ticked up 4.14 per cent since yesterday, even with a week-over-week decrease of 9.23 per cent.
