Gold ETFs and Gold Price Outlook Before the Next Rally

Gold ETFs have seen a sharp correction recently. Within the last month, some funds dropped by over 7% on the basis of evolving rate expectations by the investors. 

Nevertheless, the price of Gold ETFs is still up by an average of 47% in the last year, indicating good long-term demand.

The technical structure of gold is still favorable as long as the prices are above $4,185. The short-term resistance is around $4,200 and $4,250. 

An explicit separation above $4,250 might lead to the exit towards $4,300. Should the momentum continue to increase, GOLD could eventually hit $4,500.

On the negative side, support is close at $4,190. A break below that level could expose $4,180, followed by $4,170 and $4,150.
