XAU/USD Price Chart – Daily
Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; XAU/USD on TradingView
- The price of gold gives back the advance from the start of the week to carve a series of lower highs and lows, with a break/close below the $3160 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) to $3190 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) region bringing $3120 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) on the radar.
- Next area of interest comes in around $3050 (100% Fibonacci extension) to $3070 (50% Fibonacci extension), but the price of gold may continue to track the positive slope in the 50-Day SMA ($3081) should it hold above the moving average.
- Need a move back above $3280 (100% Fibonacci extension) for bullion to threaten the bearish price series, with a move/close above $3370 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) raising the scope for a test of the April high ($3500).
