Trading Signals for GOLD (XAU/USD) August 1-3, 2024: buy above $2,430 (61.8% Fibonacci - 7/8 Murray)

Early in the American session, gold is trading around 2,434, within an uptrend channel, and around the 61.8% Fibonacci level. Technically, gold has bullish potential and we believe it could resume a bullish cycle in the next few hours and could reach 2,458 or even 2,487.

If the price settles above the key support of 2,430, it could be seen as an opportunity to buy. On the other hand, if gold falls below the 61.8% Fibonacci, we could expect a technical correction towards the 38.2 Fibonacci level, located around the psychological level of $2,400. This area coincides with the bottom of the uptrend channel and a technical bounce could probably occur at this level.

On the other hand, if gold fails to break 2,458, it could be seen as an opportunity to sell as it is technically showing signs of exhaustion. Therefore, we could expect a technical correction in the coming days.
