Price Technical Analysis of Gold

The price of gold against the US dollar developed a base above $1,770. Once it crossed the $1,778 and $1,780 marks, the price began to rise steadily

The XAU/USD 4-hours chart shows that the price increased above the $1,785 resistance region. Even higher than the $1,800 mark, the price settled far above both the 100 and 200 simple moving averages (red, 4-hour) of the price.

The negative movement from the $1,824 swing high to the $1,773 low was clearly moved above by a move above the 50% Fib retracement line. On the upside, buyers may be present close to the $1,812 mark.

The $1,825 mark represents the next significant resistance. Any additional gains might push the market in the direction of the $1,840 resistance level, over which gold could recur at the $1,850 level of resistance.

On the downside, a preliminary support is located close to the $1,790 mark. On the same chart, a significant bullish trend line is also developing, with support located close to $1,785.

The $1,780 mark serves as the next significant support. The key support is close to $1,772, below which gold price may find it difficult to maintain its position above the $1,760 region.

When examining USD/JPY, there was a significant drop below the 135.00 support, and it appears that Japanese currency buyers are targeting further declines in the near future.
