Gold - XAUUSD shows more resilience than initially expectedOver the past four months, gold has shown strong resilience. Despite the U.S. interest hike, gold failed to drop substantially. Instead, it moved close to its all-time high value; however, it halted its rise at 2075.63 USD. After that, gold fell below 1900 USD. Although, this drop did not last long, and gold retreated to the 1950 USD price tag a few days later. We remain bullish on XAUUSD, and our medium-term price target of 2100 USD stays in place. Our long-term price target of 2300 USD also remains active.

Trade scenario 1: AU is currently experiencing a pullback that we’ve been waiting for.

Look for strong rejection around 0.74000 support followed by confirming bullish candlestick setups to enter long on.
Trade scenario 2: For us to consider AU full bearish we need to see a break of support around 0.74000 with a lower high below.

4Hour Trend: Bullish
Trade scenario 1: We are overall very bullish on AU but we are seeing some consolidation in the form of a range at this high.
From here we need to see structure. Look for price action to pullback to support near 0.74000 with a confirmed higher low before entering long.

AUDUSD 4hour Analysis March 20th, 2022AUDUSD Bullish Idea
Weekly Trend: Bullish
Daily Trend: Bullish
4Hour Trend: Bullish
Trade scenario 1: We are very bullish on AU recently but now price action is right near key resistance around 0.74000.
We know that price action is overextended and without structure so our best play is to wait for our next structure point.
Our ideal scenario is if price action pulls back now to form a higher low closer to 0.73000. Look for strong bullish entry candles and target back toward 0.74000 resistance.
Trade scenario 2: If price action continues to rally and we see price action break through 0.74000 resistance we ideally need a structure forming higher low above 0.74000 to even consider longs.
Price action is just too overextended to take a trade without key structure.

Trade scenario 2: For us to consider AU bearish we first need to see a break of 0.73000 support with a lower high below.
Gold - Gold is on its way to new ATHGold broke above 2000 USD price tag. Geopolitical tensions and weakness in the general stock market continue to act as bullish catalysts for gold. Positive outlook for gold is also supported by a combination of bullish technical factors. Because of that we would like to set a new short-term price target for XAUUSD to 2025 USD. Additionally, we would like to set a medium-term price target to 2100 USD; and long-term price target to 2300 USD.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI reached a strongly overbought condition which reflects extreme strength of the bullish trend (this phenomenon is similar to one that is occuring in the oil market and we warned about this previously). MACD and Stochastic are also bullish. DM+ and DM- show bullish conditions in the market as well. ADX exhibits steep growth which indicates the prevailing trend is getting extremely strong (however, it also shows a warning signal). Overall, the daily time frame is very bullish for gold.

Technical analysis update: Gold (31st January 2022)Gold took a beating after the last FOMC. It plunged below three important support levels: 1850 USD, 1835 USD and 1800 USD; additionally, this drop invalidated the recent bullish breakout above 1835 USD. The FED's commitment to raise interest rates multiple times in 2022 poses a substantial threat to gold price. The FED's aggressive stance towards raising interest rates forces us to reassess our views. We are currently inclined towards a bearish scenario as it is being signaled by bearish technical indicators and fundamental outlook for gold. We will closely watch 1775 USD and 1750 USD price levels. Previously, the 1750 USD support level acted as the lower bound of the neutral zone. If this price level is penetrated to the downside then it tremendously increases bearish odds for gold.
Illustration 1.01
Picture above shows the daily chart of XAUUSD. It also shows the neutral zone that spans between 1750 USD and 1835 USD. Gold has been trading within this zone for most of the time for the past 6 months.

If it manages to cross below 0 then it will further bolster the bearish case for gold. Stochastic is bearish as well. Additionally, DM+ and DM- show a bearish trend is present. ADX increases which suggests that this trend strengthens.

RSI is neutral. MACD undergoes reversal just slightly above 0 points. Stochastic is bearish. DM+ and DM- are bearish too. ADX declines which signals a trend of higher degree remains neutral.
Support and resistance
Short-term resistance lies at 1835 USD. Immediate resistance lies at 1800 USD. Closest support sits at 1775 USD. Other support which has great importance lies at 1750 USD.

Technical analysis update: XAUUSD (16th December 2021)Gold responded pretty well to yesterday's FOMC meeting. It soared from as low as 1753 USD yesterday to as high as 1798 USD today. We continue to maintain a bullish view on gold as we expect the tightening cycle (with presence of high inflation) to be very bullish for gold. Additionally, we expect gold to break above the resistance level at 1835 USD. We expect this breakout to be accompanied by resumption of the uptrend that will culminate in a new all-time high for gold in 2022.

RSI started to grow slightly (after a long period of sideways moving action) which is bullish. Stochastic is also bullish. MACD tries to reverse its direction to the upside. DM+ and DM- are due to perform a bullish crossover in the following days. ADX remains low which suggests that the prevailing trend remains neutral.
Final note - daily time frame
Overall, no trend is present. Price remains stuck between 1750 USD and 1835 USD. We continue to await a bullish breakout above the 1835 USD price tag followed by subsequent resumption of the bullish trend.

RSI and Stochastic are neutral. MACD remains in the bearish area; however, it needs to be observed closely in the following weeks as we expect it to perform a bullish crossover above 0 points.
