Gold Price Technical Analysis

Gold price topped near the $1,900 level and started a steady decline against the US Dollar. The price broke the $1,895 and $1,880 support levels to move into a bearish zone.

To start a decent recovery, the price must break the $1,868 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. In the stated case, there are chances of an upside break above the trend line resistance and $1,880. The next major resistance sits at $1,895, followed by $1,900.

The first major resistance is near the $41.35 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $42.65 high to $41.31 low. A close above the $41.35 resistance might increase the chances of more upsides above $41.65 and $42.00 in the near term.
