Gold (XAU / USD) is trading within a downtrend channel formed since November 19. The 1-hour chart shows that gold has strong resistance at 1,796.
A sharp break through the downtrend channel and a consolidation above 1,796 will be the start of a bullish move to the 200 EMA located at 1,808 and up to the resistance 4/8 murray at 1,812.50.
Gold is being attractive to investors amid a resurgence of fears over the Covid Omicron variant. However, if risk aversion intensifies, the dollar could regain its safe haven status, limiting the recovery in the price of gold.
The 1,781 area represents strong support for gold. On previous occasions, as you can see on the chart, it has been bouncing around this level and has given it a bullish movement. As long as the price remains or consolidates above this level, we may have an opportunity to buy in the next few days.
If a break below 1,780 is confirmed, gold could lose its value, exposing the strong support at 1,750. To the upside, a consolidation above 1,808 (200 EMA) would ease downward pressures. For now, it remains trading between the range of 1,781-1,812.
Our trading plan for the next few hours to buy gold as it consolidates above 3/8 murray with targets at 1,808.51 and through 1,812. The eagle indicator is showing signs of a technical rebound, which confirms our bullish strategy.
