Gold Price Technical Analysis
Gold price struggled to clear the $2,050 level against the US Dollar. The price traded as high as $2,048 and recently started a downside correction.
The 4-hour chart of XAU/USD indicates that the price declined below the $2,020 support. It also traded below a major bullish trend line with support at $2,020. The decline was such that the price spiked below the $2,000 level and tested the 100 Simple Moving Average (red, 4 hours).
It seems like there is major support forming near the $1,980 level. A close below the $1,980 support might send the price toward the $1,950 support or the 200 Simple Moving Average (green, 4 hours).
Immediate resistance near the $2,015 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,020 level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2,050 level.
To continue higher, the bulls need to clear the $2,050 resistance region. If they succeed, the price might start a steady increase toward $2,080. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise toward the $2,120 level in the coming sessions.
Looking at EUR/USD, the pair was supported above the 1.0880 level and it seems like the bulls might attempt a fresh increase.
