The XAU/USD currency pair (gold)Technical indicators of the currency pair:
Gold rose above $ 2730 per ounce on Thursday as part of a likely technical rebound after retreating from record highs, dropping more than 1% in the previous session. The pullback was triggered by a stronger US dollar and rising Treasury yields amid growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will take a cautious approach to monetary easing. However, gold continued to be supported by its safe-haven status amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. In addition, uncertainty around the upcoming US presidential election and monetary policy easing by major central banks provided additional support.Trading recommendations
From the technical analysis point of view, the trend on the XAU/USD is bullish. Gold is starting to form a broadly volatile flat. The level of 2725 acts as support and 2738 as resistance. However, intraday pressure is behind the sellers. A breakdown of 2725 will open the price way to 2707. But until that happens, the level of 2725 can be used for buying with a target up to the upper boundary of the flat.Alternative scenario:if the price breakdown the support level of 2640, the downtrend will likely resume.(Click on image to enlarge)
