TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
XAUUSD
Gold prices rose on Monday, supported by falling US bond yields and a weaker US dollar. With recent performance, the precious metal is up more than 8% since October, moving above the psychological $2,000 level – a technical signal that has reinforced the metal's constructive trend.
To have stronger confidence in the bullish thesis and to validate the potential for further upside, a clear and decisive move above $2,010/$2,015 is needed – a key resistance area that has consistently hindering progress since the beginning of the year. While overcoming this hurdle could pose a challenge for the bulls, a breakout could fuel a rally to $2,060, followed by $2,085, the highest in the month 5.
In case gold is rejected from its current position, the asset could trend towards support between $1,980 and $1,975. Price is likely to stabilize in this area on a bearish reversal, but a push below this floor could result in a pullback towards the 200-day simple moving average located around the $1,950 mark. Below this threshold, attention may focus on $1,937.
