Gold DAILY PRICE CHART (20 June – Oct 25, 2019) Zoomed In
Looking at the daily chart, we notice On Oct 10, XAU/USD declined to a lower trade zone $1440 – $1510. However, the price reversed direction before testing the low end of the zone highlighting seller’s weakness.
Hence, a close above the 50-day average and the high end of the zone could generate two bullish signals. This may lead Gold to trade towards the vicinity of $1,555-58. Further close above $1,558 could push the price towards $1,634. Nevertheless, the weekly resistance area and levels marked on the chart (zoomed in) should be kept in focus.
That said, any failure in closing above the high end would reflect buyer’s hesitation. Consequently, could lead XAU/USD towards the low end of the zone. Further close below the low end may press the precious metal even lower towards $1400. In that scenario, the weekly support area and levels underlined on the chart should be watched closely.
