XAUUSD is likely to fall when it encounters resistance

Short
OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
There were moderate movements during yesterday's Asian session and gold fluctuated slightly up from $2067. During the US trading session, gold quickly increased in price along with the depreciation of the USD and surpassed the resistance zone, once reaching 2084 USD. Finally, gold closed the daily chart on a positive note to post its fifth consecutive gain, showing a clear bullish trend. This is how trends work. Once it is formed, it will not change anytime soon and you will be taking a big risk if you act against the trend. However, it will depend on your trading cycle. For day trading, both bears and bulls have opportunities, and price and timing will be important.
Currently, gold has hit previous resistance at $2070-$2075, which should become significant support for today's trade. If gold fails to fall below that range, it will reach new highs or even reach $2,100. In the 1H chart, a golden cross is expanding and it is away from the overbought zone, indicating more upside space. However, the MACD shows major pullback risks in the 4H and daily charts, and bearish divergence appears to be increasing. Therefore, investors who maintain an optimistic view in the medium term should not follow the current uptrend. Today, the trading range will be from $2070 to $2047, with aggressive investors advised to buy low and sell high.
