XAU/USD Technical Outlook – 8, Dec

Gold price regained the downward-pointing 21-Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the four-hour chart, now at $1,781, having defended that critical mildly bullish 50SMA support at $1,774.

Despite the downside break from the rising wedge seen earlier this week, bulls continued defying bearish expectations. Acceptance above the 21SMA will initiate a meaningful recovery toward the $1,800 mark. The next upside target is pegged at the multi-month highs at $1,810.

The tide seems to have turned in favor Gold buyers, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has swung back into bullish territory. The rising wedge breakdown on the four-hour chart remains in play, keeping Gold price on the defensive in the lower range of this week’s trading range so far.

On the flip side, a four-hourly candlestick closing below the 21SMA resistance-turned-support could reinforce the bearish momentum, bringing the 50SMA back on sellers’ radars. The horizontal 100SMA at $1,764 will be a tough nut to crack for Gold bears on their way to the $1,750 psychological level.

XAU/USD Technical Outlook- 5, Dec

Gold price is retreating to test the critical 200-Daily Moving Average (DMA) at $1,796, at the time of writing.

Gold bulls reclaimed that barrier for the first time since mid-June on Thursday.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has turned flat just beneath the overbought territory, justifying the latest leg down in Gold price.

Should the 200DMA resistance-turned-support give way, then a drop toward the November 15 high at $1,787 cannot be ruled out.

The next corrective target is seen at the previous day’s low of $1,768, below which floors will open up for a test of the bullish 21DMA at $1,749.

Alternatively, Gold buyers year for a weekly closing above the 200DMA, above which the $1,800 mark will be challenged once again.

Further up, the previous day’s high at $1,805 and the August 10 top at $1,808 will be put to test.
