Gold braces for the third consecutive weekly loss as it challenges a six-month-old bullish trend channel formation. That said, bearish MACD signals join a three-week-old descending resistance line to keep XAUUSD sellers hopeful, the nearly oversold RSI conditions and the key support near $1,928 stop bears from taking control. As a result, the metal’s further downside appears elusive unless witnessing a daily close below $1,928. Following that, a quick fall to the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of October 2022 to May 2023 upside, near the $1,900 round figure, can’t be ruled out. However, the early March swing high of near $1,860 and March’s monthly low of $1,804, quickly followed by the $1,800 threshold, might allow bears to take a breather afterward.
Meanwhile, the Gold price recovery hinges on a clear upside break of the three-week-old bearish trend line, close to $1,962 at the latest. Should the quote manage to remain firmer past $1,962, the $2,000 psychological magnet could gain the bullion buyer’s attention. It’s worth noting that the Gold price upside past $2,000 needs validation from $2,050 and the latest all-time high surrounding $2,080 to aim for the fresh record high, which in turn highlights the previously mentioned rising channel’s top line near $2,120.
Overall, Gold is likely to decline further but needs to sustain below $1,928 to convince bears.
