The XAU/USD pair hovers around $2,162 and seems poised to extend its slide. Still, to confirm so, the pair would need to break
below $2,145.17, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the latest bullish run measured between $1,984.03 and $2,195.22. The next
Fibonacci support and a potential bearish target is located at $2,114.53.
XAU/USD daily chart shows technical indicators heading firmly north, although still at extreme overbought readings, supporting the
case for a steep correction but far from suggesting the end of the bullish trend. At the same time, moving averages remain far below
the current level, with the 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA) heading north almost vertically above the longer ones and converging
with the 50% retracement of the aforementioned run at around $2,089.90.
The 4-hour chart supports the case of a bearish extension. XAU/USD trades below a now mildly bearish 20 SMA, while technical
indicators aim south within negative levels. Finally, the 100 and 200 SMA maintain their firmly bullish slopes, in line with the
dominant trend and suggesting the ongoing decline may well be corrective.
