The gold price recently established a resistance zone at the highs near $2,955 - $2,938, leading to a decline after failing to sustain above this level. Currently, it trades below this resistance, indicating that sellers have taken control. After the recent drop, the price might attempt a correction back towards $2,938 before continuing downward. This correction would serve as a retest of the broken resistance, which could now act as a strong barrier for further upside movement.
If the price fails to reclaim the resistance zone, it is likely to continue its decline towards the support area around $2,880 - $2,859. A break below this region would expose the next support at $2,844, a level where buyers might attempt to stabilize the price. However, if bearish momentum persists and gold falls below this key support, the next significant levels to watch are $2,820 and $2,782.
