Technical analysis update: XAUUSD (25th August 2021)

Gold took some step back after its breakout above 1800 USD. It currently trades around 1792 USD. We think upper bound of downward moving channel should be closely observed in the following days as it currently acts as immediate support for gold. Plunge below this level could lead to short term weakness. Although, we expect 1750 USD (previous support/resistance) to hold in case of further selling pressure. Stochastic is bullish. RSI continues to change back and forth from neutral to bullish on daily timeframe. MACD has bullish direction and we expect it to perform crossover above 0 points. We expect this to be very bullish for gold. In the big picture we remain bullish on gold with medium term price target of 1850 USD and long term price target of 1875 USD. Though, our price target for next 12 months is much higher at 2100 USD.
