A b reakdown of the bottom line of the indicator Cloud and its consolidation under 1.1935, which will indicate the continuation of falling to the level of 1.1845, will cancel the upside variant.

Gold struggles to capitalize on its intraday move up and remains below the $5,100 mark heading into the European session amid mixed cues.
