With that said, gold may extend the advance from the start of the week as it no longer carves a bearish price series, but the precious metal may threaten the positive slope in the 50-Day SMA ($3321) should it fail to defend the advance from the monthly low ($3289).

Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; XAU/USD on TradingView
- The price of gold snaps the series of lower highs and lows from last week after struggling to close below $3370 (161.8% Fibonacci extension), and a move above the monthly high ($3451) may lead to a test of the April high ($3500).
- Next area of interest comes in around $3540 (161.8% Fibonacci extension), but lack of momentum to hold above $3370 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) may push the price of gold toward the monthly low ($3289).
- A move/close below $3160 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) to $3190 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) zone brings the May low ($3121) on the radar, with the next area of interest coming in around $3050 (100% Fibonacci extension) to $3070 (50% Fibonacci extension).
