Gold Price Chart - Technical outlook
Gold: Daily chart
Despite the overbought Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart, gold buyers defy the bearish odds and remain on track to test the January 8 high of $1917.
However, the further upside appears elusive, as gold bulls could take a breather before resuming the uptrend towards $2000.
The next upswing could likely get fuelled by prospects of bearish crossovers on the said time frame.
Meanwhile, any corrective pullbacks could meet initial demand at $1890, the static resistance now support.
Further south, strong support near the $1872/70 region could guard the downside.
