From a technical perspective, the overnight pullback from a two-week top shows some resilience below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the move up from the monthly low touched last week. Adding to this, oscillators on hourly/daily charts are holding in positive territory, suggesting that the path of least resistance for the Gold price remains to the upside. Some follow-through buying beyond the overnight swing high, around the $3,346 area, will reaffirm the constructive outlook and allow the XAU/USD pair to reclaim the $3,400 round figure.

On the flip side, any meaningful slide below the $3,300 mark is likely to find some support near the $3,260-$3,258 confluence – comprising the 38.2% Fibo. retracement level and the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart. The latter should act as a key pivotal point, which if broken decisively could make the Gold price vulnerable to accelerate the fall toward the 50% retracement level around the $3,232 region, en route to the $3,200 round figure.
