Gold– Retail traders have sold into the recent Gold price bounce versus the US Dollar, and a contrarian view of crowd sentiment suggests the XAU/USD exchange rate could trade higher.
Such a forecast comes with a heavy caveat, however; retail traders will often outperform in choppy and range-bound trading conditions. This fact is relevant because Gold continues to stick to a tight price range, and until this changes the majority of traders may continue to do well buying near range lows and selling near range highs.
