Gold price technical analysis: XAU/USD moved into a bullish zone

FXOpen Broker Team FXOpen

Gold price gained momentum recently after forming a support base near $1,305 against the US Dollar. The price rallied above the $1,310 resistance to move into a bullish zone.

The upward move was strong as the price even broke the $1,320 resistance and the 50 hourly simple moving average. Besides, there was a break above a connecting resistance trend line at $1,321 on the hourly chart.

The price traded as high as $1,325 and it may correct in the short term. There is a decent support formed near the $1,321 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $1,314 low to $1,325 high.

The current price action is positive and it seems like dips remain supported above $1,320. On the upside, a break above the $1,325 resistance could push the price towards $1,330.
