Near about the 74% level and Fed Chair Powell’s emphasis on data reliance heading ahead. For all, the Fed’s favorite inflation indicator is Core PCE info, and if Core PCE data exceeds estimates. Rate increase expectations may be sharply re-adjusted. subsequently this can show to be a test for Gold bullish traders and act as a motivating factor towards a fall of the key $1900 level.
Technical Perspective
After the end of the Doji candle this past week, a new quarterly bottom was produced last week on the XAUUSD weekly graph. Nevertheless, the price is moving closer towards the 61.8% fib retrace area, and at that exact time, a golden cross structure. Which indicates a potential rebound in the cost of gold, is ready to form as the 50-day MA. And is likely to pass over the 100-day MA. Barring a weekly candle closing under the prior upper low, that is supported by the crucial $1800 level. The uptrend in Gold continues.

Descending to a daily duration, the tale is further supported by the fact that Friday’s daily candlestick is projected to end in an inverse hammer pattern. An upward rebound normally follows a reversed hammer candle. Which might occur on Monday prior US data and other economic factors start to influence prices.
The concern now is if the bears can take charge the following week. And drive prices under the critical $1900 level after finally breaking the $1940-$1970 zone. The 100-day MA, which is sitting at the $1942 level, may act as barrier against any drop on Monday. Although a further decline would put the 50-day MA in action near $1977.
In the opposite scenario, a decline under $1900 would encounter support near the $1875 level. Until its 200-day MA enters in view at $1850 area.
