On the XTI/USD 4-hours chart, the price was able to break over the $70.00 resistance area. In addition, a crucial negative trend line with resistance near $69.80 was broken by the price.

Further gains over the $72.50 barrier and the 100 simple moving average seemed possible as a result. The price eventually surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the decline from the $80.84 swing high to $64.0 low.

The price is meeting resistance in the $74.50 region on the upside. It is close to the level of the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the decline from the swing high of $80.84 to the low of $64.0.

The $76.50 area represents the next significant resistance. Another steady rise toward $78.80 or perhaps $80.00 could be possible with a clear break above the $76.50 barrier.

In the $72.20 region, an immediate support is currently developing. Near the $70.00 mark, there is the next significant support. The $64.30 support area may need to be tested in the upcoming days if there are any additional losses.

The bulls were active above the $1,940 support when it came to the price of gold. Above the $2,000 region, the price is still up against a lot of resistance.
