XAU/USD Retests The Broken Levels!

Technically, the price of gold dropped after registering a fasle breakout through the 1,935 static resistance. The 1,919 - 1,916 and the upper median line (uml) represent support levels.

As long as it stays above these levels, the yellow metal could resume its growth. Only dropping and closing below 1,916 activates a downside movement and brings new shorts.

XAU/USD Forecast!

False breakdowns below 1,919 could announce a bullish momentum and could represent the next long opportunity. A new higher high, a valid breakout above 1,935 activates an upside continuation and represents a bullish signal.
