Gold Price Technical Analysis

Gold found bids near $4,065 and $4,080 against the US Dollar. The price started a decent increase after there was a close above $4,120.

The 4-hour chart of XAU/USD indicates that the price settled above the $4,250 pivot level, the 100 Simple Moving Average (red, 4 hours), and the 200 Simple Moving Average (green, 4 hours). A high was formed at $4,435, and the price remains elevated.

On the upside, immediate resistance could be $4,435. The next major resistance might be $4,450. A clear move above $4,450 could open the doors for more upside. In the stated case, the bulls could aim for a move toward $4,500 or even $4,525. Any more gains might send the price toward the $4,550 level.

If there is a downside correction, the price could test the $4,350 support or the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3,995 swing low to the $4,435 high.

The first major support sits at $4,320. The next support could be $4,215, below which the price might slide to $4,150. The main support sits at $4,120. Any more losses might call for a test of $4,050 or even $4,020 in the coming days.

Looking at WTI Crude Oil, the price is slowly moving higher and might rally if it closes above the $83.50 resistance.
