Key Quotes

“The pair, currently, trades lower at 1189.66 levels, bouncing-off day’s high at 1192.16 levels as the pair faces strong trend line resistance at 1194.75 levels.”

“XAU/USD inched lower largely on the back of profit booking after the yellow metal rallied to fresh three week peak in the previous session. However, a broadly weaker US dollar cushions the downside.”

“The pair is seen struggling around 1189, and is expected to fall from current levels and may test the 5-DMA support at 1185 levels before resuming its upside momentum. The daily RSI has turned flattish at 50 levels suggesting potential a break out on either side.”

“The pair is expected to rebound higher from 5-DMA and retest daily highs at 1191.16. A break above that level, the pair may extend further to test the trend line resistance, beyond which XAU bulls are likely to dominate taking XAU/USD higher to 1200 levels.”

“However, on the release of US consumer durables data later in the session, XAU/USD may retreat as the data is expected to come better than the previous reading which may boost the US dollar.”
