Chart Ready by Michael Boutros, Technical Strategist; Gold on Tradingview
Notes: In my final Gold Weekly PriceOutlook we famous that XAU/USD, “breakout has prolonged into uptrend resistance and the instant advance could also be susceptible within the days forward.” The zone in focus was 1903/23– a area outlined by the 2021 excessive shut and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 2020 decline. Gold ripped increased this week amid the barrage of battle headlines with value briefly registering an intraday excessive at 1974 earlier than reversing sharply decrease – is a near-term excessive in place this time?
Weekly support now rests on the 2021 high-week shut / 61.8% retracement of the 2022 vary at 1849/54 with broader bullish invalidation unchanged on the yearly low-week shut at 1791. A topside breach / shut above 1923 is required to mark resumption with such a situation exposing subsequent resistance goal at 2021 swing excessive once more at 1959 and the file high-week shut at 2034.
Backside line: The gold rally faltered this week into uptrend resistance and the risk for near-term exhaustion stays whereas under 1923.
