Gold Price Technical Analysis
Gold price attempted a fresh increase above the $1,950 level against the US Dollar. However, the price failed to clear $1,965 and started another decline.
The 4-hours chart of XAU/USD indicates that the price declined steadily below the $1,950 support level. There was a close below the $1,920 level, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours), and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hours).
The price declined below the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,895 swing low to $1,966 high.
If the bears remain in action, the price may perhaps test the $1,880 support. The next major support is near the $1,850 level. It coincides with the 1.618 Fib extension level of the upward move from the $1,895 swing low to $1,966 high.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near $1,920. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,920 on the same chart. The next key resistance could be $1,960, above which the bulls might aim a test of the $1,980 resistance zone or even $2,000.
Looking at EUR/USD, the pair found support near the 1.0950 level and attempted a recovery wave. Besides, GBP/USD remained well bid above the 1.3050 support zone.
