FX.co ★ Gold At Crossroads!

• • A false breakdown with great separation below the lower median line (lml) suggests buying!

The price of gold is trading at $1,824 far above $1,800 psychological and critical support. Staying above this downside obstacle maintains some bullish hopes. XAU/USD could edge higher if the United States data will continue to disappoint during this week.

The gold price has decreased a little in the short term but it continues to stay in the buyer's territory. A deeper drop could be activated only by a USDX's important rally in the coming days.

We'll see what will happen after the US publishes more high-impact data these days. The price has changed little at the start of the week because the traders and investors are waiting for a bullish or for a bearish signal.

XAU/USD Undecided!

Gold is traded below the Pivot Point ($1,829) level which is seen as immediate resistance. The support stands at the ascending pitchfork's lower median line (lml), at S1 ($1,803), and lower at the $1,800 psychological level.

It has found strong resistance at the ascending pitchfork's median line (ML) and now it could approach mentioned support levels. XAU/USD could still increase, climb higher, as long as it stays within the ascending pitchfork's body.

Trading Tips!

A long opportunity will be given by a false breakdown with great separation below the ascending pitchfork's lower median line (lml) or through $1,800. Also, a major bullish engulfing printed these support levels suggests going long.

The R1 ($1,850) and the 50% Fibonacci line are seen as strong resistance levels. Breaking above these obstacles brings a great long opportunity as well.

Selling will be possible only if XAU/USD drops and stabilizes under $1,800 psychological level.
