Gold prices continued their uptrend on Thursday and rose more than 1% as US Treasury yields fell, reducing the greenback's appeal. Labor market data from the United States was weaker, increasing the chances of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve despite facing inflationary pressures.
XAU/USD's daily chart shows it has slowed its recovery around the slightly elevated 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA), at around $2,345. Longer moving averages maintain their upward slope well below current levels, while technical indicators remain below midlines with no clear directional strength. Overall, Gold extends its consolidation phase ahead of a suitable directional catalyst.
Looking ahead and according to the 4-hour chart, XAU/USD is neutral. The pair met with intraday buyers around the bullish 200 SMA but failed to extend gains beyond the slightly bearish 100 SMA. Finally, technical indicators remained unchanged at positive levels, showing that bulls are more willing to jump in.
The resistance zone at 2375 is currently expected by investors to be able to reduce the increase throughout today. The price range of 2375 and 2352 will be the trading range in today's US session. If the recovery level is nice enough, gold's destination will return to around 2400 soon.
SELL zone 2375-2377 SL 2380
BUY zone 2353-2351 SL 2348
