Gold Price Technical Analysis

In the past few days, gold price started a strong rise above the $1,580 pivot level against the US Dollar. The bulls gained strength, resulting in a sharp upward move above the $1,600 resistance area.

The upward move was such that the price settled above the $1,610 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. Finally, it broke the $1,620 resistance and traded to a new 2020 high at $1,624 on FXOpen.

The price is currently trading with a strong bullish bias and it might continue to rise above the $1,625 level. The next key resistance on the upside is near the $1,640 and $1,645 levels.

On the downside, an initial support is near the $1,620 level. Besides, the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $1,603 low to $1,624 high is also near the $1,620 level.

Moreover, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $1,615 on the hourly chart of gold. The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $1,603 low to $1,624 high.

Therefore, dips remain well supported on the downside near the $1,620 and $1,615 levels. The main support on the downside is now near the $1,610 level since it coincides with the 50 hourly simple moving average.

The first major support is near the $53.00 level. It is also close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $51.15 low to $54.62 high.

If the price fails to stay above the $53.50 and $53.00 support levels, it could decline sharply towards the $51.20 support level.
