Gold Price Technical Analysis

Gold price started a bearish wave below the $2,000 level against the US Dollar. The price broke the $1,950 support level to move into a short-term bearish zone.

The price even traded below the $1,920 level, but it found support above $1,900. The recent low is formed near $1,909 on FXOpen and the price is currently correcting higher.

Gold Price Technical Analysis

It broke the $1,920 and $1,930 resistance levels. There was also a break above the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,976 high to $1,909 low, and the 50 hourly simple moving average.

On the upside, the price is facing a major resistance near $1,940 and $1,950. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,942 on the hourly chart of gold.

The trend line coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,976 high to $1,909 low. If there is a clear break above the $1,940 and $1,950 resistance levels, the price could continue to rise.

The next major resistance is near $1,975, followed by $1,980. Conversely, the price might fail to surpass the $1,950 resistance. An initial support on the downside is near the $1,935 level and the 50 hourly SMA.

The next major support is near the $1,920 level, below which the price might struggle to stay above the $1,900 support zone in the coming sessions.

Oil Price Technical Analysis
