Gold is benefiting the most from the slide in cryptocurrencies and fears of growing inflationary pressures with central banks maintaining their dovish stance.

Prices are currently hovering near an 18-week high and is challenging the $1,900 resistance level. Given that gold has broken above the downtrend line from August and crossed above the long term 100- and 200-day moving averages, the bullish outlook remains well in play.

Fundamental factors are also supportive with money managers boosting their purchases according to data from the CFTC which saw net-long positions reaching a 16-week high.

Unless we see a surprising upside in the US dollar or US government yields, there isn’t much to suggest the momentum is fading anytime soon.
