According to technical analysis, gold price is still in the bearish channel on the daily chart. If next week's gold price breaks the 1,940 USD/oz zone, it will exit this downward channel. However, after overcoming this zone, next week's gold price will face a strong resistance zone at 1,970 - 1,987 USD/oz. Here, the pressure to take profits will be huge, especially when ETFs have not returned to buying gold. Meanwhile, the area of 1,782-1,810 USD/oz is still an important support zone for short-term gold prices.
