US Dollar weakens providing support to Gold

tuahaca Updated   
FXOPEN:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
The US Dollar Index, which measures the value of the dollar against a basket of other currencies, has decreased by 0.25%, which is counteracting the downward pressure on XAUUSD.

The price of gold is trading within a narrow range of $1,950-70s during the European Session on Tuesday and is currently facing resistance at $1,960. The recent surge in gold prices to over $2,000 last week due to panic-buying during the banking crisis was short-lived.

From a technical perspective, there are bearish patterns on the 4-hour chart, which suggest that there is a risk of further downside to key support at $1,934. If the gold price fulfills its target based on the length of the measured move, it could drop below the neckline and decline sharply to a target of around $1,900.

The RSI momentum indicator is falling faster than the price, indicating underlying weakness and supporting a negative outlook. However, a decisive break and close above $1,960 would invalidate the near-term bearish picture, and the uptrend would remain intact as long as gold stays above $1,934.


Looking at the technical analysis, it appears that the Gold price may be following a three-wave measured move pattern, which is similar to a zig-zag pattern, starting from its highs of $2,003.

If the price reaches its target based on the length of the measured move, it could decline below the neckline and experience a sharper decline down to approximately $1,900.

Furthermore, by using the height of the double top as a guide, we could see a more profound sell-off to the support level around $1,880, as supplied by the 200-4hr Simple Moving Average.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator is falling more rapidly than the price, indicating underlying weakness through a bearish divergence, which supports a negative outlook.

However, if the price makes a decisive break and closes above $1,960, it would invalidate the near-term bearish picture.
Comment:
4hr - look at how price is reacting to both the blue 20SMA and black 50SMA. Plus all that bearish divergence on MACD.

I don't see things turning up from here. Shorting to neckline of head and shoulders, stop above right shoulder.

Comment:
Gold price is looking to extend the previous weakness while defending the $1,950 level so far this Thursday.

The extended rebound in the United States Dollar (USD) is boding ill for the Gold price
Comment:
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is edging lower but trades above the midline, suggesting that Gold price could see some dip-buying.

If Gold price bounces off the abovementioned trendline support, then a fresh run-up toward the static resistance at $1,975 cannot be ruled out.

Buyers will then look out for the weekly high at $1,981 on their way to the $2,000 psychological level.
