Overview from Dahab Masr's Analysis Team

As we approach 2024, the gold market shows strong signs of resilience and potential growth. According to Dahab Masr's analysis team, gold is currently trading within a defined pivotal range with support at $2013 per ounce and resistance levels around $2027, a former support level now turned resistance.

The main trend for gold remains bullish as long as prices stay above the $2013 support level. Stabilizing prices above this level may indicate the possibility of a return to the bullish trend, targeting the first resistance at $2027. If the price exceeds this resistance, it could pave the way for an ascent towards the next resistance level at $2048.

On the other hand, if gold fails to maintain its level above $2013, it may face downward pressure, targeting support zones between $2000 and $1997, followed by last week's low at $1973.

Locally, this development is expected to reflect an increase in gold prices in Egypt, stabilizing above the 3000 Egyptian pound for 21-carat gold before the end of the first half of 2024.
