Gold Surges Near $1,980 as US Dollar Weakens
In a significant rebound, the price of gold surged past $1,980 during Tuesday's Asian trading session, recovering recent losses. This uptick was bolstered by a weakening US dollar, potentially influenced by the reduced interest rates on US Treasury bonds.
The XAU/USD daily chart indicates the metal is trading just below Friday's closing level, maintaining its upward trend. While technical indicators are consolidating within overbought territory, there are no signs of exhaustion in the upward momentum. Furthermore, the pair is trading above all its moving averages, with the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) showing relatively weaker upward strength compared to longer-term moving averages.
Looking ahead, on the 4-hour chart, XAU/USD appears neutral to bullish. The SMA 20 is trending northward below the current price, acting as a dynamic resistance level. Meanwhile, the longer moving averages are showing less aggressive upward slopes compared to their shorter counterparts. Notably, the technical indicators have stabilized above the midline after correcting overbought conditions, suggesting limited selling pressure.
Support Levels: $1,964.30, $1,954.45, $1,936.60
Resistance Levels: $1,982.80, $1,997.30, $2,008.10
The resurgence of gold prices underscores the market's sensitivity to the fluctuations in the US dollar. As geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties persist, investors continue to seek refuge in safe-haven assets like gold. The current technical outlook suggests a cautiously optimistic sentiment, with the potential for further gains if the US dollar remains subdued. Traders are closely monitoring key support and resistance levels for signals of the market's next directional move.
